This week the Senate Committee on Education will hear proposals on some of the most contentious issues of the legislative session. Senator Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe) will be introducing Senate Bill (S.B.) 8 to establish education savings account (E.S.A.s) programs (school vouchers). Certain public school advocates say if passed, this legislation would drain money from public schools and essentially create education coupons for wealthy families. On the other hand, supporters of the legislation, like the Texas Public Policy Foundation, say that E.S.A.s allow parents to meet their child's educational needs when the "education was not the quality they expected, or it wasn't aligned with their family values."https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/history.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=SB8
