Educators can cash in on new school vouchers in Texas by becoming vendors offering services

Texas educators can join a state vendor list to offer services funded by Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
ESAs provide about $10,000 per student for private school options to cover tutoring and mental health services.
Zoe Alterman Grewing, a San Antonio teacher, considers tutoring and other services as a new revenue opportunity.
The School Discovery Network is hosting monthly town halls to help educators apply and start their own vendor businesses.
Opponents express concerns that ESA funds could divert resources from public schools.
Grewing aims to offer services such as English tutoring and college readiness to ESA students.
The Education Savings Account program was passed by the Texas Legislature and is now being rolled out in Bexar County.
Tutoring rates mentioned range from $50 to $100 per hour, potentially benefiting teachers in Title I areas.
The program is part of a broader state effort to expand ESA options for families statewide.
Local events and resources will help families learn about ESAs and how to access them in San Antonio.
