47 states allow private schools from competing with public schools, both academically and athletically. Late tonight, Texas remained one of the three states to not include them in UIL competition.
Senator Dan Patrick's (R-Houston) SB 1214 was not able to be voted on in time for the deadline at 12:00 AM Wednesday morning. District 117 Texas State Representative John V Garza sponsored the bill in the House and was disappointed to see the time expire. However, if there is a special session in the summer, who knows where it will appear as an amendment? And, even then, we will not stop fighting to allow private schools compete. It is good for the kids, the parents, and Texas as a State.
