Texas won't say which private schools, vendors are profiting from state vouchers: Houston Chronicle
The Texas Comptroller's office is refusing to release records showing how families are spending taxpayer-funded school voucher dollars, ABC13's partners at the Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday. The Texas Comptroller's office is refusing to release records showing how families are spending taxpayer-funded school voucher dollars, according to the Houston Chronicle. The billion-dollar program allows families to use vouchers to pay tuition, buy school supplies, and get educational therapies. The Chronicle has been denied documents and information on how these funds are spent. The Comptroller’s office claims it is protecting student privacy as other states with similar voucher programs do not turn this information over to the public. The Texas Education Freedom Account lists approved schools and vendors where voucher money can be spent, but some of these vendors raise questions. While the comptroller's agency refuses to release spending details, the voucher program's assistant director says the program is hiring an auditor, as required by law, and it is unclear if this audit will be made public.
