Where Will The Money Come From?

To the Editor:

I read with interest the March 14 article “House Proposes $7.5 Billion in New School Funding,” noting that HB2 would raise the per student allotment for public education by $220 to $6,360 per year. At the same time, however, Gov. Abbott wants to provide $10,000 per year for students whose parents can afford to send them to private school. Help me out here, are some kids worth more than others?

And even if there is a direct savings offset of $6,360 when a child leaves public school (which there is not), what public school functions does Abbott propose not funding, or defunding, to cover the balance of the $10,000?
