Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a school choice program that includes private school and homeschool vouchers, backed by a $1 billion budget. The legislation, described by state Republicans as the most ambitious "education freedom" initiative in the country, allows low-income students from poorer-performing districts to use public tax dollars to attend private schools. The bill, passed by the Republican-controlled State Senate, aims to provide families in Texas with greater educational options and has been characterized as a historic development for the state.
