Protesters call for more public school funding
SUMMARY: Hundreds marched to the Texas Capitol, demanding increased funding for public schools while opposing Governor Abbott’s advancing school choice voucher plan. Proponents argue vouchers offer educational options, but critics contend they could harm public schools, many of which are already facing budget shortfalls. The rally, organized by Save Texas Schools, highlighted the urgent need for increased per-student funding, which has remained stagnant since 2019. Teachers expressed concerns over layoffs and program cuts, emphasizing the importance of public education. As lawmakers prepare to debate the voucher legislation, protesters plan another rally in April to continue their advocacy.

Protesters gathered at the state capitol Saturday to call for more funding in public schools.
