Texas House Committee Debate Expanding School Choice
Paige Williams, the director of legislation for the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, was one of the witnesses against the bill.
“Introducing private school vouchers will only exacerbate the problem of a chronically underfunded public school system,” Williams said. Dr. Tracy Hanson, the founder and principal of Oak Creek Academy in Killeen, was one of the witnesses testifying in favor of it. “If a family cannot afford a private education, is that really a choice? What if it's the only place that their child will ever be able to succeed,” Hanson said.Texas parents and their children deserve the time and effort it will take to pass critical school choice legislation this session.
