In a 19-12 vote, Texas senators passed their first bill of the 89th legislative session, Senate Bill 2, Feb. 5. The proposal by Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, now heads to the Texas House.
SB 2 proposes spending $1 billion annually for education savings accounts, which families could use to help cover the costs of private education. About 100,000 students would qualify for the program, Creighton said.
“Across Texas public schools, despite the hard work of our teachers that we value and respect so much and the billions of dollars we spend in our state budget, many students are feeling left behind,” Creighton said on the Senate floor. “That is unacceptable.”
