Governor Greg Abbott threatened to veto a watered-down House bill that would limit how many families can get a cash incentive to move their kids from public school to private school. He also threatened to call a special session if this version of the bill gets to his desk.
Over the weekend, a Texas House committee unveiled a rewritten version of a so-called "school choice" bill that had already passed the Senate.
To answer that question, the substitute bill would eliminate the STAAR test for all Texas students in exchange for a new assessment of some kind that would be given three times a year. But Representative James Talarico said with two weeks left in the session, this bill could be a bad place to also rewrite the state's accountability system.
It would be a shorter test given at the beginning, middle and end of the year. It’s similar to map testing some districts give students now.
