During the town hall, O'Rourke plans to outline his unifying vision for world-class public schools in the state of Texas including fully funding public school classrooms, raising teachers' pay, and ending high-pressure standardized testing.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the El Paso native questions in order to learn from those that he wants to serve as governor.
