The Texas legislature was in such for much of late 2023, both for the regular session and for multiple consecutive special sessions. According to Governor Abbott, the sessions would continue until school choice legislation was passed. 2023 ended without school vouchers being voted into law, bringing the question: what’s next for school choice in Texas?

Stepping into the shoes of Texan government officials as they debate, write bill proposals, and vote on their work, Youth and Government competed in a district meet on Saturday in Dallas against other delegates for the Legislative branch of the club.

From 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., District 5 Legislative conference members met and put their preparation into action.

Senior and president, Sindhuja Pannuri, served as a chair for this competition as opposed to a delegate, and feels that it was an eye-opening experience to do so.

“As president, it feels good to hear the work that we put in paid off when we as a delegation get good scores,” Pannuri said. “I know everyone worked super hard, and to hear them say they were actively participating is really important.
