It’s really difficult to watch our Gov promote stupid propaganda. Of course public schools have to accept every student in “their district” & private schools do not, so he leaves out that detail to mislead folks. He is waging this war on pub ed because he accepted $12 mil from

I want to believe that voucher proponents support public schools but you all held 5.5 million students and their teachers hostage last session because you didn’t get your vouchers. Kinda hard to trust the folks who take hostages.

If you ever wondered whether Abbott’s school choice program will grow the size of govt & drastically increase spending, which can only be sustained with higher taxation, listen to this clip of him pitching this new govt entitlement-program. Seriously, listen. Not conservative.

Is it now conservative to create a second pot of money to fund a new govt program? #txlege Abbott admits school choice is like creating 2nd line item in budget for a new agency like TxDOT. Why not add another govt program to subsidize my toll road fees? More spending = more

This is not conservative

We employ the most passionate and caring educators, staff, and administrators! With the growth we experience every year, WE NEED MORE than a $220 increase to the basic allotment that HB2 proposes. Let our legislators know they must FULLY fund public ed! We can help you!!! #txlege

One topic that the reps mentioned multiple times yesterday was the argument against billionaires getting vouchers for their own kids. That’s false & misleading. The argument is that billionaires are funding this voucher scam because they stand to make hundreds of millions running

RAB AG Wes Virdell, TX State Rep Bob the Builder One of the worst things the legislatures did was make funding based on current year values. This made budgeting almost a complete guess because the PVS study does not even come out till January 30ish. We were only building budgets 9 months earlier

Featured story: SB 2 stipulates that up to 5% of appropriated funds may go to pay up to 5 outside vendors like ClassWallet. If the bill were to pass, these private companies could soon be reeling in tens and even hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. texasobserver.org/school-voucher…

@JBorregoTX We need to set the record straight on the misleading “$15,000+ per student” claim. It’s being used to suggest our public schools are fully funded — but that’s simply not true. The actual basic allotment is $6,160 per student, and it hasn’t increased since 2019. To keep up with

20% of the “surplus” is $ never spent from last year’s budget on pub ed because held hostage until new school choice program passed. This $ needs to be release to pub ed. The “pet” project is the $1 bil school choice bill Chip Roy and Greg Abbott support #txlege

our state reps & gov fail to mention this new voucher/esa entitlement program will cost the State $80 mil in admin fees in yr one & grow over time. They created a new tax payor funded business in TX to process private school apps for their donors. Not conservative #txlege.

Abbott’s number 1 education initiative was to grow State govt by creating a new govt program that adds families to the State payroll who were already paying own way.

The state of Texas needs to releases its regulatory grip on ISDs and charters. The #txlege has spoken. All that matters is if parents are satisfied with the school option. No accountability, testing, graduation requirements, attendance or other regulations for ESAs. Why keep
