Texas House education chair expects vouchers will pass next session — with limitations

DALLAS — The chair of the Texas House education committee expects a voucher bill to pass in the next legislative session after failing last year — but it might look different this time.

Speaking at a Dallas Regional Chamber State of Public Education event Tuesday, District 54 Rep. Brad Buckley said he wants well-funded public schools as well as a voucher program with limitations. He said vouchers should go to low-income kids in poorly rated schools.
