The Texas House has rejected an effort to let voters decide on a proposed $1 billion private school voucher program.
Lawmakers debated whether to put the voucher plan on the November ballot, but the measure was defeated. The House is also considering bills that would increase funding for public schools. The debate highlights deep divisions over using public funds for private education and the future of school funding in Texas.
The outcome keeps the decision in the hands of legislators rather than the public.
