Texas Gov. Greg Abbott heats up school voucher debate, calling for universal program for all students during a “parent empowerment night” in Corpus Christi.
Gov. Greg Abbott said “every child in the state of Texas” needs access to a voucher-like program that gives parents public dollars to spend on private school tuition or other educational expenses.
The state has already piloted a form of such savings accounts through microgrants made available to select students with disabilities in 2020.Related: How the state could funnel public dollars to parents to use for their child’s education varies. Traditional vouchers often send the funds straight to the private school or educational institution where the student enrolls.
