Curious about the differences between a voucher program that benefits private schools versus what takes place in our Texas public schools? Here's a quick rundown! While this graphic doesn't focus on the specifics of Senate Bill 2, it will give you an overview of how vouchers are used in various states.

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. @SteeleThoughts #essentialtruths @ToddWhitaker
