(AUSTIN) — Acting Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock today announced the adoption of final administrative rules (PDF) governing the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program, the education choice initiative enacted by the Texas Legislature earlier this year in Senate Bill (SB) 2. Rules were formally filed today with the Texas Secretary of State and will become effective 20 days from filing.
The conversation around education in Texas has reached a pivotal moment with the introduction of the state’s school choice program: Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA). This initiative recognizes what the Catholic Church has always affirmed: parents are the first and primary educators of their children, and every family deserves the ability to choose the learning environment that best nurtures their child’s growth.
