Texas Education Reporter

The Houston Chronicle is seeking a sharp, well-sourced reporter based in Austin to cover
statewide education — with a particular focus on how Texas schools are changing, who is
driving those changes and whether students and families are being well served.

This reporter will explain how the state funds and regulates schools, sets academic standards
and wields power to influence local education systems. A central focus of the beat will be the
state’s massive private school voucher rollout, including how the program is implemented, who
benefits, what the taxpayer dollars are funding and what it means for traditional public schools,
charter schools and families navigating the system.

The reporter will also cover political campaigns, legislative sessions and statewide policy
debates through the lens of education, examining how lawmakers and state officials are shaping
the future of schools in Texas.

This role will work collaboratively with local education reporters in Houston, Austin and San
Antonio to connect statewide policy decisions to deliver accountability journalism and practical,
reader-first coverage.

Texas is home to some of the country’s biggest and most consequential education fights. The
ideal candidate is deeply curious about policy and power, understands how to translate complex
systems into compelling journalism, and is energized by connecting statewide decisions to real-
world impact.

Key responsibilities:

Cover the Texas Legislature, Texas Education Agency and other state entities shaping
education policy and oversight
Lead coverage of Texas’ voucher program, including implementation, funding,
accountability, political influence and impact on public schools and families
Cover campaigns, legislative sessions and statewide political debates through the lens
of education policy and public schools
Report on how state funding formulas, mandates and policy decisions affect districts,
teacher pay, staffing, curriculum and student experiences across Texas
Examine how the state uses accountability systems, interventions and oversight powers
to influence local district governance and autonomy
Track the political, financial and ideological forces shaping education policy in Texas and
the state’s growing influence on national education debates
Produce a mix of breaking news, accountability reporting, enterprise and explanatory
journalism
Collaborate closely with local education reporters in Houston, Austin and San Antonio to
identify statewide trends and local impact
Build sourcing across urban, suburban and rural communities, including educators,
parents, students, policymakers, advocates and researchers
Use data, public records and budget documents to identify trends, inequities and areas
of impact
Collaborate with visuals, audience, data and investigative teams to maximize reach and
impact
Identify opportunities for audience growth and subscriber value through distinctive
statewide education coverage

We’re looking for someone who:

Has 3+ years of reporting experience, with a strong preference for education, statehouse
or accountability reporting
Is based in Austin or willing to relocate, with a strong understanding of Texas politics and
policy
Is driven to break news and develop original reporting on a competitive, high-impact beat
Has a strong track record of building sources and delivering scoops
Understands how policy decisions translate into real-world consequences for families,
schools and communities
Writes with clarity and authority, helping readers make sense of complex education
systems and high-stakes policy changes
Values both accountability journalism and utility reporting, with a strong instinct for what
readers need to know
Success is measured by
Breaking news and delivering exclusive reporting on statewide education policy and the
voucher rollout
Producing journalism that reveals whether education leaders and institutions are
delivering for Texas students and families
Creating accountability and utility coverage that drives engagement, loyalty and
subscriber value
