San Antonio Lawmakers Question Billion-Dollar Texas Voucher Program

Texas’ new taxpayer-funded school voucher program drew criticism at a San Antonio town hall, where lawmakers questioned whether it reaches students most in need, how it affects public schools and whether private schools should face public-school-level accountability. The same divide is shaping state House races: some candidates support expanded school choice, while opponents say public dollars should instead strengthen neighborhood schools and teacher pay.
