(WBAP/KLIF) — One of the hottest issues that continues to swirl around the state centers on Texas school children. That has those on both sides of the aisle questioning whether the governor’s School Choice initiative can really work.
Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbott continues to champion his effort to implement school choice into the Lone Star State’s education system. The governor says that school choice is about improving education for all children, including those in public schools. Opponents of the program say that the already under-funded public education system will suffer even more, if a school voucher bill is passed.
Abbott says that Republicans who voted against school vouchers are feeling the repercussions at the polls and are suffering in being re-elected. He is confident that the Texas Legislature will pass the school voucher program to allow parents to choose where their child attends school. The governor also indicates that he’s committed to adequately funding public schools.
Abbott says 31 other states have already passed school choice without their public schools suffering financially. The governor made his comments, Wednesday, on DFW’s Morning News with Clayton Neville & Laura Sadler on KLIF AM 570.
