Gov. Abbott released his budget recommendations in a report to the 89th Texas Legislature that expands upon the emergency items he declared on February 2 and details additional appropriations he would like to see in many other areas of state government.
Several of his suggestions are listed under the pillar of “Achieving Education Excellence,” such as: “I recommend the 89th Legislature empower Texas families by establishing a Universal Education Savings Account program and providing $1 billion to allow funding to follow the student to the educational setting of their parent’s choice.”
