While Gov. Greg Abbott stumps for school choice, he’s making the pitch only at Christian campuses — a hint at who the program may benefit most.
Rep. Diego Bernal, D-San Antonio, sees Abbott as blending political campaigning with policy town halls.
Among the protesters outside the event was Jenna Napier, who hoisted a poster reading, “DCA grad against vouchers.”“People want the best for their kids. That’s their intent. But you have to consider impact, not just intent,” she said. “It’s in our collective best interest to fund our local public schools.”Texas public schools are funded based on how many students attend. If children leave their neighborhood schools for private schools, state money generally leaves with them.
But he also took notice of the crowd of people against vouchers that rallied outside. His wife is a former public school teacher, and the family wouldn’t want this plan to hurt those institutions.At Denton Calvary, tuition for little ones is around $7,000 and goes above $9,000 for high school. Parents must also commit to being a co-instructor at home.
