Inside the Secret Plan to Bring Private School Vouchers to Texas [View all]

Texas Monthly has an eye-popping 👀, not-to-be-missed, investigative reporting piece by a senior editor, Forrest Wilder, a Class of '99 Wimberley High School graduate.

"𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙒𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙖𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨. 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚."

The news story centers on Wimberley ISD and local elected officials, a secretive plan, and the current and former school superintendent, but it has implications for the upcoming Legislative session, the entire state of Texas and our public school systems.

It wouldn't surprise me to find there may be other related efforts going on in other states if they happen to have laws like the one that let this happen.
