Texas Education Freedom Accounts Launching

Colleen Hroncich

Today is an exciting day in Texas as applications open for the state’s new Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA). The program allows families to use state funding for private school tuition and other educational expenses, rather than having it locked into their assigned district schools.

It’s about time Texas families had access to parental choice in education. While many kids do well in their assigned school, no single school can meet the needs of every child who happens to live near it.
