Gov. Abbott talks school vouchers in Fort Worth. But can his plan pass the Texas House?

During a visit to a Catholic school in Fort Worth on Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott told the crowd of mostly private school students and parents that Texas doesn’t need to choose between strong public schools and school choice. The state can have both, he said.


Speaking at Nolan Catholic High School, Abbott pushed a plan to use state money to pay for private school tuition, framing the issue as a matter of empowering parents to make the best decisions regarding their children’s education.


No parent, Abbott said, would knowingly send their children to a failing school if they had any other option.
