He is real proud of this.
Scott Bowen, Corporal Chaos of CCISD was caught on camera. He was supporting the voucher scheme which will take more funding away from the district. He proudly authored a resolution at the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) in support of “educational freedom”. That is code words for vouchers. The resolution goes on to demand Governor Abbott to place the issue as an “emergency item”. This should be done in the next legislation session coming in 2025. An emergency item has priority over all other bills.
Bowen has a history of advocating against public education as a Trustee of CCISD. Last year a formal grievance was filed against him. He used his position during a hearing in Austin to advocate against the school district’s board. His 3 minutes of fame was caught on camera. The bill eventually failed but he got his digs in.
Vouchers are very popular in the Republican Party. The voucher scheme will give parents $8000. This amount is much more than they pay in school taxes. It will partially pay for their kids private school tuition. It’s welfare for the wealthy. Private schools are very expensive. Only the wealthy, who are wealthy enough to not need a handout, can afford them. There is nothing good about vouchers.
Nothing.
