"Texas House Members Clash Over School Vouchers in Special Session"

Three Texas state representatives discussed the upcoming special legislative session on education, with differing views on the controversial topic of school vouchers. While Democratic Rep. Barbara Gervin-Hawkins expressed a willingness to negotiate and focus on securing better teacher pay and increased school funding, her colleague Rep. James Talarico opposed vouchers as a threat to public education. Republican Rep. James Frank supported school vouchers, arguing that they would give parents more choice in their children's education. The special session, which is a priority for Governor Greg Abbott, is expected to begin next month.
