Texas' school voucher bill clears hurdle, heads to House floor
The Texas Public Education Committee voted 9-6 Thursday to advance amended school voucher legislation to the House floor — a significant step toward its final passage. All Democrats on the committee voted against the voucher proposal, a top priority for Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. If the current voucher and school funding proposals pass the House and receive the Senate's blessing, they go to Abbott's desk.
