Texas House Committee to Study School Choice Program Public opinion supports school choice, with nearly two-thirds of Texans backing the program in a recent poll.
The Texas House of Representatives Committee on Public Education will meet Monday to discuss how the state could again work toward crafting an education savings account program, a policy goal that Republicans failed to achieve last year.
KXAN reported that Monday’s agenda will allow members to examine how other states implement ESA programs.
Several states currently have some form of an ESA program, including Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia.
“It’s back to school season in Texas, and parents are demanding school choice. During the upcoming legislative session, we’re going to work to make school choice a reality. Parents matter—and choosing where they send their children to school matters,” said Gov. Greg Abbott in a social media post on Tuesday.
