Opportunities in Education
TexasNextStep, first proposed by Comptroller Strayhorn in May 2002, would offer all Texas high-school graduates the opportunity to attend two years of college at any public community college, technical college or two-year institution designated by the Legislature with the state picking up the tab for tuition, fees and books. Legislation is required to implement this proposal.
