School voucher programs — also known as education savings accounts or school choice — allow families to use public funds to pay for private school tuition. They have swept across the U.S. over the past decade, and now the Texas Legislature looks poised to enact a school voucher program of its own.  In this episode of “Baker Briefing,” Ed Emmett sits down with Christopher Kulesza, a scholar in child health policy at the Baker Institute, to break down what a Texas school voucher program might look like and what it could mean for schools and families across the state. For more, read Kulesza’s recent brief: “How to Design a Fiscally Responsible School Choice Program in Texas.”
