If a significant number of parents send their children to private schools and carry their tax money with them, would there be fewer students, fewer teachers, less need for additional schools and expansions, facilities, support staff, utilities, etc., etc.?BluHorseShu said:School choice sounds great…But who do you think is going to fund any shortfall for the public school funding Abbott claims won't exist? This is going to hurt those rural public schools ….which are usually R votersBrian Alg said:
Abbott announced his support for school choice. I hope this means polling is showing that Kacal's position on education is a loser. I can't vote for Bius, but I hope he wins based on this one issue.

Except for a school district or two, I don't see a lot of the rural families in this area sending their children to private schools that are 15 to 30 miles or so away.
I personally like the idea that a family should be able to carry their school tax money with their children to whatever school they desire. It's called freedom.
