Resolution to Support Freedom of School Choice
WHEREAS teachers now earn less than they could due to the monopsony power districts have over the labor force. Additional competition for teachers’ services will positively impact teacher pay;
WHEREAS studies indicate that where school choice has been implemented public schools have improved. Additionally, school choice will offset public schools’ enrollment growth;
WHEREAS the purpose of the education clause in the Texas Constitution is the preservation of the liberties and rights of the people;
WHEREAS school choice has the potential to save taxpayers billions while at the same time providing superior educational opportunities to Texas students;
WHEREAS at present, Texas has very few policies that encourage competition and efficiency in its public schools;
WHEREAS with passage of either the Taxpayer Savings Grant or Taxpayer Savings Credit the financial effect on a public school will be exactly the same as if a student moves out of the district;
RESOLVED that every Texas child can choose schools that best meet that individual child’s needs;
RESOLVED that parental freedom and educational opportunity for all Texas students is maximized;
RESOLVED that the Taxpayer Savings Grant Program is enacted;
RESOLVED that the Taxpayer Savings Credit Program is enacted;
