State of Texas - April 27, 2025
Legislation to let parents use public funds for private education heads to the Governor. Josh Hinkle speaks one-on-one with Sen. Brandon Creighton, who authored Senate Bill 2. We discuss concerns from both sides of the aisle over the bill, why he's confident this will help Texans who need it most, and how the ESA plan could change in the future.
Texas Democrats try a new tactic after losing the vote on education savings accounts. Adam Schwager looks at how they're blocking votes on crucial legislation, and how the approach could put bipartisan priorities at risk.
The state's plan to let parents pay for private education with public funds might not cover tuition at some campuses. Investigator Kelly Wiley looks into why some private schools are wary of the ESA plan, and how that could affect Texas parents.
New accountability ratings are out for schools across Texas, giving parents a look at the performance of campuses statewide. Dylan McKim reports on why the timing of the release is raising questions.
State of Texas is a statewide, in-depth program focused solely on Texas politics. Produced at KXAN in Austin and airing in 14 markets across the state, the show gives viewers greater perspective on the Texas Legislature, state policy and elections.
