SUMMARY: Governor Greg Abbott spoke at the Texas Public Policy Foundation 2023 Parent Empowerment Leadership Summit dinner, discussing the progress towards achieving school choice in Texas. He compared the current situation to the Texas Longhorns' failed attempts to score from the one-yard line in a recent football game. The Texas Senate has passed Senate Bill 1, which would allocate $500 million towards an education savings account program. The bill must now be passed in the House, where it has faced opposition from both Democrats and rural Republicans. Despite this opposition, Abbott believes that the support for school choice is strong among Texas voters. He also mentioned the possibility of additional funding for schools and teacher pay raises.
