This pivotal event, part of the West Texas Town Hall Series from Texas Tech Public Media, will bring together political leaders, educators, parents, and community members to discuss the current and future state of public education in Texas. With the goal of fostering an informed and engaged community, the forum will explore the most pressing issues facing our education system today, including the controversial Texas voucher program.

Moderated By: Tech the Vote, a non-partisan organization at Texas Tech University committed to enhancing voter education and engagement.

The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with an informative overview of the issues at stake, presented by the KTTZ newsroom. This segment will lay the groundwork for a balanced and fact-based discussion, addressing the key arguments for and against the implementation of a Texas voucher program.

Following this introduction, the panelists will engage in a guided discussion, answering questions curated by the KTTZ Newsroom, Tech the Vote, and submissions from the audience. This dialogue will provide a platform for diverse perspectives and foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities within Texas public education.
