'It's impossible for a state to, in the long term, stand up and maintain two education systems,' said Michigan State University Professor Joshua Cowen. TexasSchools txlege GregAbbott Texas SchoolVouchers SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX
A similar school voucher plan recently passed in Arizona is projected to cost taxpayers in the Grand Canyon State an additional $1 billion annually.
"I can assure you and can prove to you that's not going to happen," Abbott told the hundreds of parents gathered there last Thursday. "Historically, conservatives have held public schools to be suspect, in that they are large bureaucracies inefficient in their use of public monies, and therefore deserve to be challenged by charter schools and school vouchers," Southern Methodist University political scientist Cal Jillson said.
"It's impossible for a state to, in the long term, stand up and maintain two education systems," Cowen said."And if Texas passes this bill, that's what Texas is committing to, effectively just supporting two education systems financially." Cowen argues S.B. 8 will force Texas to pay for K-12 twice, which he says is unsustainable. What's more, he warns it will force the state to make budget cuts elsewhere to continue the model.
