Take Care of Texas Launches Ambassador Program

Take Care of Texas is launching a new Take Care of Texas Ambassador Program and has selected 15 educators to participate this school year. The goal is to equip these educators with knowledge and resources to spread awareness of the Take Care of Texas program with colleagues and administrators.
