🧵 Tonight's speech marks the second straight State of the State address in which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has shunned the tradition of delivering the speech to lawmakers at the state Capitol. The speech begins at 7 p.m. Follow along here:
Abbott is expected to discuss his support for a school voucher-type program in tonight’s speech, which would provide taxpayer funds to private schools or home schools.
Highlighting that effort, earlier this week, public education advocates posted a leaked recording they said was a conversation between a Texas Education Agency official and an unnamed parent who transferred their child out of Joshua Independent School District., the official, TEA Deputy Commissioner Steve Lechelop asked if the woman would speak with one of Abbott’s speechwriters. Abbott would then use her story to promote his policy to support private schools with taxpayer dollars.
Under the formula by which Texas funds schools, for students who transfer from charter schools or school districts, their former schools would lose the funding they received based on their attendance. The Texas Education Agency is the main institution governing public education in the state of Texas. It distributes funding for schools, administers standardized tests, assists with the drafting of the curriculum and so on.Tonight's speech marks the second straight State of the State address in which Abbott has shunned the tradition of delivering his biennial remarks before a joint legislative session at the state Capitol.
