The education policy in Texas has always sparked varied opinions. Despite these differences, there is a shared goal: ensuring that children receive a strong education so they can thrive both academically and in life. This year, changes in how Texans view education may be on the horizon. According to ABC News, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick highlighted that the state has passed school choice legislation five times since 2015. Governor Greg Abbott has stated that school choice will be a top priority in the 2023 legislative session. While this could challenge some existing policies, many believe expanding school choice will give families more flexibility in selecting the best educational options for their children.
