"Texas Gov. Abbott Claims School Voucher Breakthrough, But Support Remains Uncertain"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces a potential breakthrough on school vouchers, claiming to have reached an agreement with House leaders, including Speaker Dade Phelan. However, Phelan stops short of confirming the deal, and other lawmakers express skepticism. Abbott's proposal would provide parents with access to around $10,400 per student for private school tuition and other educational expenses, with funding also allocated for public schools and teacher raises. The House has yet to hold a committee hearing on any voucher bill, and the special session must conclude by November 7.
