Public education leaders in Montgomery County believe public funds should not be used for a private education and say the voucher program proposed in the Texas Legislature is unfair and lacks accountability.
Senate Bill 8 authored by state Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, would create a system to provide $8,000 to families who want to seek private education, including homeschooling, for their children instead of sending them to public schools.
The program would allow parents, including those whose children may have learning disabilities, to get more tailored instruction beyond what public schools offer, he said. During a CISD board workshop April 4, Null said the voucher system doesn’t offer the same accountability standards for private schools as it does for public schools.
If a private school chooses to accept public dollars to educate a student through a voucher program, Marino said, private schools should be required to accept and serve every student who wishes to attend their school. “This includes teacher quality, retention and security for our schools,” Meyers said. “Diverting existing tax dollars to private education would divide the tax dollars among public and private schools unless additional tax dollars are added.
