The Texas Senate gave preliminary approval, once again, to school funding bills that include education savings accounts, but there's no guarantee of a similar outcome in the Texas House.
The Texas Senate gave preliminary approval, once again, to school funding bills that include education savings accounts.
Governor Greg Abbott said he thinks the Texas House is at the "one-yard line" from passing education savings accounts. "Today, we are united with one message: public dollars belong in public schools," said State Rep. Venton Jones, who represents District 100 in Dallas. Six items are on the agenda, but the number one reason the Governor brought the legislature back is school choice.
"This idea it is not right, it is wrong, so we're saying no," Dallas ISD Trustee Maxie Johnson said. "Keep public funds in public schools." Gov. Abbott has now said he would add teacher pay raises and school funding to this special session, but only if school choice is passed by both chambers.
