Texas Governor Pushes for School Choice Despite Criticism.
TL;DR Summary
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is supporting a proposal, SB 8, which would provide families with $8,000 per student in an education savings account and allow them to spend the money on approved private school tuition. Critics worry the legislation would remove money from the public school system, leading to a drop in funding and attendance. However, Abbott denies this charge and believes that wherever school choice is used, public education improves.
