The issues tops Gov. Abbott's priority list, but it sits last for many Texas House members.
DALLAS — Texas lawmakers returned to Austin on Monday for the third special legislative session this year.Abbott announced the latest special session will focus on school vouchers
For Gov. Abbott, his primary priority since the start of the regular legislative session in January is school vouchers -- also known as school choice or education savings accounts.The hot, often divisive, topic brought heavy feelings into the Capitol on Monday. Ahead of convening in the House Chamber on Monday, House Democrats spoke in opposition of the idea -- again.
Gov. Abbott has made claims in the past that go against Rep. Talarico's statement. At a school choice rally in September, Gov. Abbott said vouchers would not only give parents freedom to choose their child's schooling, but also help public education. He claimed states with school choice had top-ranking public high schools.
