AUSTIN, Texas (KSWO) - In Texas, Senate Bill 2 passed 19 to 12, to give what proponents believe is a choice for parents to send their children to private schools. It uses $1 billion in funding from the state for 100,000 students as each student would get $10,000.

Senate Bill 2 would devote public money to defray the cost of private education. Early plans would set aside $1 billion.
