    Plano ISD Facebook Legislative Alert: Keep public dollars in public schools. The Texas House is close to considering SB 8, which would create Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), better known as vouchers. Use this link and tell your State Representative to keep public dollars in public schools and oppose SB 8. Our public schools are facing more challenges than ever before. The legislature needs to fund public education, not private schools. https://trinity.quorum.us/campaign/47776/ #txlege.
