Details are limited on a Texas school choice agreement, but Governor Greg Abbott said he believes it will move forward.
Gov. Abbott told reporters he is confident that when lawmakers see the negotiated education plan they will be more likely to pass school vouchers. Texas House members plan to accept the expanded special session resolution from Gov. Abbott.
Hunt and his fellow board members think public school funding and teacher pay increases should be the only focus, and it should not be paired up with other political agendas. The so-called "education savings accounts" would provide about $10,000 per student for parents to opt out of public school and enroll in private school instead, a sticking point for Republicans in areas where public schools are the only viable option.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says there's been a breakthrough on school choice bill
"We are on track to ensure there will not be another special session. There is enough time to get everything done that we want to get done, that needs to get done, to avoid a special session," Gov. Abbott said.
