Episode Details

Texas families have until Tuesday to apply for the states new education savings account program, with over one hundred thousand students potentially receiving thousands of dollars each for private school or homeschooling this fall. The deadline was extended by two weeks after a federal judge ruled the original process unfairly excluded Islamic schools. Public school applicants make up only one-fourth of the total, with Houston Independent, Dallas, Austin, and Northside leading the pack. Pre-school spots are the most sought-after, with over twenty-five thousand applications already. After Tuesday midnight, families will have to wait until April for the selection results, with funds potentially hitting accounts by July for the August school start. This new program is set to make a significant impact on Texas education.
