💨 Abstract

Texas lawmakers have passed a $1 billion education bill, allowing families to use public funds for private school tuition. The bill, a major victory for school voucher proponents, is headed to Governor Greg Abbott for signing. Over 30 states have voucher programs, but Texas, with over 5 million students in public schools, is among the largest. Critics argue it will drain resources from public schools and benefit wealthier families already sending children to private schools.
