📢 UPDATED ACET FALL VIRTUAL ACADEMY! 📢
We’re making a small change to our Fall Virtual Academy! While our originally planned September 22 session has been canceled due to the extension of the OMB and EDGAR through December 11, 2026, we’re excited to bring you an even more focused day of learning on October 1! 🎉

Join us for a FULL DAY of valuable TEA fiscal monitoring information, program updates, and fiscal training designed to help you kick off the school year informed and prepared.
📅 October 1, 2026
💻 Virtual Academy
📚 A full day of timely information, training, and learning!
And don’t worry—we haven’t forgotten about Cory Green! His session on the upcoming changes will be featured in an ACET Virtual Academy in early 2027. 🙌

💰 Registration Refunds:
Anyone registered for September 22 will receive a full refund for that day. Those who purchased a Combo registration for both days will receive a partial refund. No action is needed! Refunds will be issued to the original payment method, and a receipt will be sent.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of ACET! ❤️ We can’t wait to see you October 1 for an informative and engaging day!

This year we honor the life and legacy of Shirley Coleman. Her decades of service, leadership, and advocacy left an immeasurable impact on ACET, educators, and students across Texas.

During our Spring Conference in Houston, we had the privilege of celebrating Shirley’s contributions and recognizing the lasting mark she made on our organization. While she will be deeply missed, her legacy lives on through the work we do, the leaders she inspired, and the countless lives she touched. Her commitment to service, kindness, and education will continue to guide ACET for generations to come.

It’s almost time for our Summer Virtual Academy! Don’t wait register today!

A successful organization needs more than great ideas — it needs thoughtful leadership and faithful stewardship behind the scenes.

We are incredibly thankful for our Finance Committee and the time, wisdom, and care they pour into supporting the work of our organization. From budgeting and planning to making strategic decisions that help us grow sustainably, their leadership helps make every event, program, and opportunity possible.

Thank you for serving with integrity, vision, and a heart for educators and students across Texas. Your work may happen behind the scenes, but its impact is seen everywhere. 💙

Let’s give it up for the best Executive Leadership Committee in Texas! 👏 Their tireless work behind the scenes to make our Spring Conference a success did not go unnoticed. Thank you for your leadership, collaboration, and commitment to supporting educators across our state. Because of your dedication to compensatory education, schools are better equipped to make an even greater impact on students every single day.

Still thinking about the incredible talent from our 2026 Conference Student Performers 👏

From the precision and pride of Lamar HS Choir & JROTC to the energy and artistry of Klein Oak HS Panteras De Oro Mariachi, these students brought a level of excellence that truly set the tone for the entire conference. Every note, every step, and every moment reflected hours of dedication, discipline, and passion.

We are so grateful to these schools and their outstanding leaders for sharing their students with us. Your commitment to excellence and to developing student talent is evident—and it made a lasting impact on everyone in the room.

This is what it looks like when schools invest in their students and raise the bar. 🎶

Registration is open for our Summer Virtual Academy! Can’t wait to see you all on Zoom in just a few weeks. ☀️☀️
