Gaining Momentum

What to know: Parent empowerment—school choice—is gaining ground nationwide, with the help of energized families, emboldened legislatures and even the courts, which continue to affirm its constitutionality.

The TPPF take: Support for parent empowerment is strong, even in rural areas.

“Texas politicians, take note: parents aren’t fooled by the false narrative on school choice anymore,” says Texas Tech University’s Professor Alexander Salter. “School choice doesn’t hurt rural districts. If anything, it strengthens them by giving families additional options. Public education dollars should fund students, not systems. It’s time to make school choice a reality here in Texas.”
