The Texas House approved the plan, part of a push by President Trump’s allies to offer up to about $10,000 for private school, home-school or virtual learning.

While the House and Senate still need to agree on a final plan, the vote was a huge victory for the governor, who has pushed for months to pass 'school choice'.

The bill would let families use taxpayer dollars for their children’s private schooling. Lawmakers also signed off on a sweeping $7.7 billion package to boost public school funding.
