Burnt Orange Report - College Tuition and the Race for Governor
Burnt Orange Report - College Tuition and the Race for Governor: "Besides promising more benefits for veterans, Strayhorn also focused much on education. The Caller-Times reports:
Convention-goers gave Strayhorn standing ovations as she outlined her TexasNextStep Plan, which would offer Texas high school graduates the opportunity to attend two years of college or technical school with tuition, fees and books paid for by the state.
Strayhorn first proposed TexasNextStep in 2002. It was originally designed to decrease the state’s high school dropout rate by providing incentives for students to continue their education. Every student would be guaranteed 90 credit hours at a community college or technical school plus $30 per credit hour for textbooks."
