North Texas Public Schools Face $64 Million Loss Due to Education Savings Accounts

Public schools in North Texas are projected to lose nearly $64 million in funding this school year as approximately 7,700 students transition to private schools or homeschooling using the state's new Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) voucher program. This statewide shift is expected to result in a total revenue loss of nearly $300 million for public schools, as funding is partially based on student attendance.
