Texas Vouchers Face Possible Elimination

After Democrats retook the Texas House and elected a new governor who pledged to reverse key parts of the prior administration’s education agenda, state officials putting Democrats in charge of the voucher office and a Democratic House majority mean the 2025 voucher program (serving ~110,000 students) could be substantially rewritten or ended. Changing or killing the program will require legislative action and faces a split Senate, but officials and newly appointed administrators have signaled they will pursue accountability, transparency and program rollback. — If Texas — the largest red state and origin of a major voucher rollout — dismantles or remakes its voucher program, it will reshape national expectations about the durability and political viability of large-scale school‑voucher initiatives.
