@RepJamesFrank @joshandrajack James and I a constructive conversation on the phone this morning over this topic. Although we disagree on many aspects of vouchers, we do have a common interest in the wellbeing of all our children.

Thoughts?! @RepJamesFrank

The first modern school voucher program began in Milwaukee in 1990.

34 years later as the city hosts #RNC2024 and vouchers headline the #Project2025 education agenda:

Let’s check in on the Milwaukee results thus far👇

*The last year to show positive results for voucher users was 1993, during the program’s pilot phase.

*After program expansion, nearly 8/10 voucher users were already in private school—a preview of similar data in other states today.

*More recently: voucher users exit at rates of 20-25% a year, are more likely students of color and lower scoring—but do better once enrolling in city public schools.

*When WI began requiring voucher schools to follow the same oversight rules as public schools, voucher results improved 🤔

*Some suggestive data indicate public “competitive” effects—but the city system as a whole has never gained ground since a “rising tide for all boats” was promised.

*Other “studies” of Milwaukee voucher data on non-academic outcomes are poorly designed and done by DeVos and/or Bradley-backed think tanks.

*The US investigated several flagship schools in the Milwaukee voucher system for discriminating against students with special needs. The inquiry closed with a non-finding.

*Today’s descendent of the first Milwaukee voucher system is rife with discrimination toward students with disabilities and 🏳️‍🌈 families👇

@RepJamesFrank @joshandrajack Yes, we can disagree. Any thoughts on the information in my post to you? Is there any discussion on private schools having some sort of state accountability for taking state money? That is not too much to ask…

[Vance Morris @MorrisVance]

@RepJamesFrank Can’t agree more, James!

[Vance Morris @MorrisVance]

@RepJamesFrank James, parents have options now. If the Texas Legislature (you) would’ve fully funded the schools, maybe we wouldn’t lose teachers to other states!

@texas_sportsman @Mavs_FFL Don’t get me wrong, Luka is a great player but if spent more time trying to get buckets rather than complain about no calls then he’d be more effective and more likable to watch!

Wonderful story! Great guy!

This is what it’s all about. Coach Broadhurst making a recovery in time to be back with his team and see them win another regional title. The Randall Raiders are state bound! Team Broadhurst! @RandallRaiderBB

[Vance Morris @MorrisVance]

@RepJamesFrank Such a poor example, James. You and the governor chose to not fund public schools just because you didn’t get your way. Shame on you.

[Vance Morris @MorrisVance]

@pizza_messiah Really looking forward to it!!

Don't get it twisted: School districts are considering layoffs, closing schools, and cutting programs because @GregAbbott_TX held hostage school funding and teacher pay raises for his voucher scam - a scam rejected by Republicans and Democrats

Unreal what our Texas Legislators did to try to get vouchers passed. They failed our kids to try and push their agenda. They should be ashamed of themselves!!

[Troy Mooney @TroyMooney]

Folks who literally built their whole life work on trying to help students in #txed now silent (or even gleeful) when safety and basic allotment adjustments are not being made for 5 million children because “vouchers did not pass and it was a package deal”.

Who required it to be a package deal?

It never needed to be, and now that vouchers are done for at least 2 years you still should do your job for the other 5 million students and their teachers.
