CWN Editor's Note: The Texas House has passed legislation establishing a $1-billion education savings account program that will allow 100,000 students to receive $10,000 scholarships to attend independent schools. The Senate has approved the measure, and the governor is expected to sign it.
The $10,000 in funding for educational savings accounts is approximately 85% of government per-student funding for public schools.
The Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops supported the measure, which also provides $2,000 education savings accounts for homeschooled students.
