“Crisis in the Classroom,” Sinclair Broadcast Group’s national education franchise, today announced it will host a panel discussion, “Crisis in the Classroom: Texas School Choice,” ahead of the upcoming Texas special legislative session. The discussion will focus on families’ K-12 education options through school choice policies in Texas, and a proposed voucher system that would allow parents to use public school funds to send their children to private schools.
