House Bill 1140, co-sponsored by Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, would specifically fund ESAs for low-income students, special needs families and students trapped in failing schools.
Not all schools can serve all students, this sort homogenized approach has failed.
Supporters of school choice via vouchers have a tough opponent in the teacher's unions and there supporters but there is hope as more and more tax payers see their taxes skyrocketing and student achievement dropping.
At some point fiscal reality must step in.
On Jan. 24, 2025, Texas State Senator Brandon Creighton filed Senate Bill 2, the Texas Education Freedom Act, which would give students universal access to school choice and provide at least $2,000 each year to students’ education savings account. If a family decides to enroll their child in a private school, each student would receive $10,000 per year, and students with a disability enrolling in a private school would receive $11,500 per year.
