TXSmartSchools uses academic, financial, and demographic data to identify school districts and campuses that produce high academic achievement while also maintaining cost-effective operations.

As Texas Comptroller, Susan expanded and made public as much data as possible regarding public school spending in Texas so that taxpayers could see where schools spent their money. By staying involved with TXSmartSchools, Susan continues to facilitate the bridge between taxpayers and public school spending transparency.

HERdacity is building a community where women can find others who share their interests, encourage their growth and dare to follow their passions. Susan launched HERdacity in 2015 by forming the nonprofit to launch an online space where modern women can share ideas and wisdom.

Unhealthy lifestyles have become an increasing issue across our country and our state.
