HB 212, also known as the Texas Parental Empowerment Act of 2025, aims to provide universal school choice. It establishes a Parent Empowerment Program that allows state funds to follow students to the educational institutions that best meet their needs. Parents who choose private schools for their children can apply for reimbursement from the state. The bill ensures that the program is funded without diverting money from current government school financing and any savings will be reinvested back into Texas public and charter schools.
