Democratic State Rep. Gene Wu says, even if Republicans increase funding for schools and give teachers a raise, Democrats still wouldn’t support vouchers.
AUSTIN, Texas — While the Texas Senate has passed its version of a school voucher plan, it remains unclear whether it can clear the Texas House.would give Texas parents up to $8,000 in taxpayer money to send their children to private schools.
House Speaker Dade Phelan says increased school funding must be part of any voucher deal, comparing it to the chicken and the egg. The Senate also passed SB 2, which would provide billions to primarily be used for teacher raises, but it provides only a small increase in public school funding.
