Nearly 200 North Texas private schools have signed up to begin accepting public money under Texas’ new education savings account program, according to a map released by the state comptroller’s office.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed the school voucher-like program into law last year. Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, students will be able to receive up to $10,474 to put toward private school costs.

Across the state, 775 schools have signed up, including 195 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
