For the first time in a very long time, families have a new type of education option to choose from through the recent Education Savings Account bill being signed into law on May 3, 2025. The bill appropriates $1 billion to fund education expenses, including private school tuition for qualifying K–12 students, homeschooling fees and students with learning and physical disabilities - should they qualify.
To help families understand what ESAs are and make sense of this new opportunity, San Antonio Charter Moms (SACM) is hosting a series of Town Halls to explain key factors such as eligibility, money allocation and what types of expenses will be approved. The Town Hall series is the latest way that SACM is bringing trusted education information to local families and caregivers, so that children can attend the best school for their needs and learning style.
SACM Founder, Inga Cotton will walk the audience through key factors families need to know followed by a Q&A session based on the statute and the information that the state has released so far. These events are free and open to the public with registration.
