Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is calling on lawmakers to try again to pass school vouchers.
Parents, teachers, public education advocates and state lawmakers protest proposed school choice legislation in Texas on Oct. 07, 2023. Several people came out to rally around the Texas Capitol Saturday, not only to say, “boot vouchers,” but also because, while this is on the governor’s agenda going into the special session, how to better fund public schools and teacher raises were not.
without anything on the agenda to talk about funding our schools, giving our teachers the pay raises is absolutely egregious.“Our Texas Constitution says that we are to provide free public education to all Texas students and children,” said Howard.
What it does is it defunds the public school system, and it degrades the ability for educators to budget for the students and for the personnel,” said Luis De La Garza with the Texas State Teachers Association. Proponents see school vouchers in the state as a positive thing, allowing families to make their own choices when it comes to where their child receives their education.
“They know their kids the best, they know what works for them, what doesn’t, and so they have decided to make sure their kids get the best education, whether it’s public or private, and I think every parent in Texas should be able to have that choice,” said state Rep. Caroline Harris, R-Austin.
