School choice has already passed in the Senate, but now two bills that go hand in hand with school choice have been filed in the House on February 20th.

Like the Texas Senate, the House calls for a cash incentive paid from taxes for families who want to switch their kids from public to private school. But unlike the Senate, the House tied the amount of that incentive to public school funding.

After hours of testimony Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Education advanced Senate Bill 2, a school voucher bill, setting it up for a floor vote.
