At a recent event in Austin, Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed his support for school choice, stating it is a key issue for the session. He discussed the importance of allowing parents to choose schools that meet their values and their children's needs, according to the Office of the Texas Governor.

Governor Abbott stated, "This is the first time in the history of Texas where we have a majority of the members of the Texas House of Representatives who are in favor of school choice." He acknowledged the slim majority and encouraged Texans to help influence the outcome. Abbott mentioned Speaker Dustin Burrows' support for a universal school choice program that would maintain parental control and not affect homeschooling. He also addressed concerns about school choice impacting homeschooling and urged supporters to encourage legislators to back the measure, as reported by the Office of the Texas Governor.

Governor Abbott has been working with community leaders to promote school choice. He said, "We need all Texans to rise up and meet this challenge to ensure that we prevail for the parents of this state." Texas lawmakers are now working on turning this idea into policy, determining how school choice will be implemented in the state, as stated by the Office of the Texas Governor.
