The Texas Senate has passed a sweeping bill to create a $1 billion school voucher program, which includes education savings accounts allowing families to use tax dollars for private school tuition. This legislation, which is being fast-tracked, has sparked intense debate and division among educators, parents, and lawmakers. Advocates, including Governor Abbott, tout the bill as a boon for school choice, while opponents argue it undermines public schools and could harm teacher salaries. The bill now heads to the House, where support appears to be building amidst growing discussions about education funding and choice in the state.
