A third special session of the 88th Texas Legislature is underway. Gov. Greg Abbott called lawmakers back to pass bills on six topics.
On Tuesday, Texas senators spent the day in committee hearings listening to what the public thinks about key bills filed this session. At the top of the list is education savings accounts , which critics have called a form of school vouchers.Senate Bill 1 has officially made it out of the Senate’s Education Committee. The testimony from the public was a mix of both support and opposition to the plan.
Any money left over could be used on other educational expenses like tutoring. Sen. Creighton said because the money will be managed and allocated through the Texas Comptroller's Office, it's different than a voucher. Several educators testified against the proposal, including Natalie Arias, who says the $500 million that would be used on ESAs, could be spent strengthening public education.
