Texas struggles to pass universal school choice, bucking a trend of red states that made it possible
Fox News
Texas Republicans have struggled to pass a universal school choice bill amid a wave of other red states passing universal school choice legislation.
Nine states have enacted universal school choice with state Republicans leading the effort. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
School choice, which provides all families with alternatives to the public schools they’re zoned for, can be expanded through multiple avenues at the state level, including school voucher programs, tax-credit scholarship programs, individual tuition tax credit programs and deductions, and education savings accounts. These programs can be limited to certain households based on an income threshold or other factors or can be expanded universally to all children. Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
