Texas Governor Greg Abbott will deliver his State of the State Address during which he's expected to make a big push for "school choice" also known as "vouchers". The measure has drawn substantial public support, especially in Texas's urban areas. FOX 26 Political Reporter Greg Groogan spoke with several parents who welcome the Governor's initiative.
"We want to choose where we send our kids to school, following our core values, so I think it would a fantastic opportunity to use those funds where our children actually attend," said Dr. Justin Washington whose child attends Westbury Christian.If approved in the Texas Legislature, a "school choice" measure would allow parents to opt for a private school or home school, with at least a portion of the tuition and costs offset by state funding.
