Urgent: Stop the New Texas Voucher Bill
Please drop what you are doing and pick up the phone! We have just learned that SB 1716, a special education voucher bill, will likely come before the House Public Education Committee later today without a public hearing.
We have seen several voucher bills get through in other states using such underhanded tactics.
Please pick up the phone and call these members today!! Here is a script you can use.
I am calling to express my strong opposition to Senate Bill 1716, which would start a special education voucher program. Public money should be spent on public schools, not unaccountable private schools. Please ask the representative not to vote SB 1716 out of committee. Thank you.
