The Texas House on Thursday filed a sweep of education bills including public school finance and school voucher proposals.

The Texas House has filed its school voucher bill. The legislation differs in several ways from what the Senate has already passed. The two chambers would have to hash out their differences before sending any legislation to Gov.

Public school advocates oppose any plan resembling school vouchers saying such programs drain resources from the campuses that educate more than 5 million children in Texas. Supporters of ESAs say families should get state funding for the educational settings that best fit their needs.

Texas House and Senate propose differing school voucher plans; the House links vouchers to public school funding levels.

Gov. Greg Abbott and Speaker Dustin Burrows predict a school voucher bill will pass through the Texas House, which last year blocked such a program.

Families participating in the program could receive about 85% of the amount public schools collect for each attending student from the state and local sources.

Sponsored by Texas democrats, the site shows millions in lost funding for Fort Worth ISD. Considering the source, some believe it’s biased. Is it?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is pushing for lawmakers to pass a $1 billion voucher program that would create state-funded “education savings accounts."

A top Texas senator filed legislation Monday that would extend the state’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to K-12 public schools, marking the first step in fulfilling a priority of Gov.

The proposal sets a few possible points of contention between the House and Senate, including how much money families should get through the program.
