Welcome Back!

We hope you had a restful and restorative summer.

Before our break, we wrapped up our 89th Legislative Updates webinar with over 100 of you joining us. Thank you for showing up!

Since then, we’ve been hard at work updating materials and developing new resources to help make your job easier this fall. We’ll share more details in this newsletter and in the coming weeks.

A standout resource this month is our SB 12 one-pager. Senate Bill 12 (SB 12) introduces significant changes to K–12 public and charter education across the state. For a quick and clear overview of SB 12, we've created concise one-pagers available in both [English]([link removed])and [Spanish]([link removed]), ready for download.

There’s more to come, but for now, we just wanted to say thank you for your continued partnership.

Let’s make this a strong start to the year!

Guiding the Next Chapter

Healthy Futures of Texas recently announced a leadership transition.

Evelyn Delgado, who has served as CEO since 2017, has retired and will continue in an advisory role through October. We’re deeply grateful for her years of leadership and impact.

Stepping into the role of Chief Executive Officer is Ginger Mullaney, who previously served as the organization’s Chief Mission Officer. Ginger brings extensive experience and a strong commitment to advancing the mission of Healthy Futures of Texas across the state.

August Linkedin Live Event

[link removed]

Join us for a LinkedIn Live event as we unpack what the 89th Texas Legislative Session means for school-based sexual health education, and why it matters to educators, school leaders, and youth-serving organizations across Texas.

Our panelist will break down key policy updates and spotlight free tools like iCHAMPSS, an online resource developed by UTHealth Houston to help schools adopt and maintain sexual health education programs. iCHAMPSS is also part of a current study recruiting Texas public schools, offering a unique opportunity to participate in research that supports effective program implementation.

We will also share how Texas is Ready can support you with additional resources and guidance.

Whether you’re working directly with students in schools or supporting them through community organizations, this conversation will equip you with the insights and resources needed to take action this school year.

We’re excited for this next chapter and what it means for the work ahead!
