"In the Educational Opportunity & Enrichment Select House Committee, the executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops testified that there is often times no bump in Catholic school enrollment that occurs after the implementation of a school choice program.
Vouchers don't provide more opportunities to families, it uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize a decision that they were already going to make.
Public schools educate more than 90% of students in Texas. Those students deserve full funding for their schools before any discussion of diverting taxpayer money for private school subsidies."
