The comptroller’s office started notifying parents on April 22 about whether they can participate in Texas’ voucher program.
More than 42,600 students will receive award notices through April 24, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock said in a statement. The first awardees include children with disabilities — and their siblings — whose families make up to 500% of the federal poverty level, which is $165,000 per year or less for a family of four.
