~ Fort Worth, Texas- Last night, Governor Greg Abbott spoke at Temple Christian School (TCS) during a Parent Empowerment Night, highlighting the growing support for school choice in the Texas House of Representatives.

Governor Abbott addressed the crowd, stating that in previous sessions, the Texas Senate had passed school choice measures only to see them fail in the House. However, this time around, with enough co-authors on board, there is hope that school choice will finally be passed and implemented in Texas.

The Governor emphasized that this legislative session will also see a record-high for education funding and teacher pay. He also debunked common myths surrounding school choice, including concerns about public education being fully funded and only wealthy families benefiting from the program. He assured parents that all families in Texas will have access to school choice and that those who homeschool their children will have control over their curriculum.
