School choice push on tap for legislative session

With the general elec - tion over, Texans are now looking ahead to the up - coming legislative session beginning in January.

Every legislative ses - sion, the Texas Senate and the Texas House take turns introducing the state budget. This session, it is the Senate's turn. Accord - ingly, Senate Bill 1 will be the state budget.

To underscore its im- portance, Senate Bill 2 will be the Senate's school choice legislation. Thir - ty-two states, both Re - publican and Democrat, have enacted some form of school choice legisla - tion. There is absolutely no reason why Texas chil - dren and parents should be left behind.
