Texas School Voucher Program Sees Over 85,000 Participants in First Year
In its inaugural year, Texas' private school voucher program has enrolled over 85,000 families, with numbers expected to rise as enrollment data is finalized. The program, established under Senate Bill 2, provides educational savings accounts to help parents pay for private school tuition. The majority of participants are white and low-income families, with significant representation from Texas' largest school districts. The program aims to benefit students with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds, though critics argue it diverts funds from public schools.
