CUSHING, Texas—The word spread parent-to-parent during a Little Dribblers basketball game in the school gymnasium.
The superintendent had sent emails—several—warning that school-choice efforts under way wouldn’t be good for their East Texas school district of 554 students.
The target of Superintendent Brandon Enos ’s advocacy was a special session of the Texas Legislature called by Republican Gov.
Greg Abbott to pass a measure to allow Texas children to receive state funding to attend private schools.
Superintendents statewide have feared the measure would drain money from the state’s already lean public-education funding.
