FROM DANICA: The conclusion of the 88th Texas Legislature is just weeks away. Our state lawmakers convene for about 20 weeks every other year to debate thousands of bills dealing with education, health care, public safety, property taxes, criminal justice and so much more. Our front-page story this month takes a deep dive into school choice legislation, which could create a statewide education savings account program, also known as private school vouchers. On Page 17, you will also nd a sampling of higher education bills led this session. Danica Lloyd, EDITOR
