Community members packed the McAllen Public Library to learn more about House Bill 3.
If signed into law, it would create an education savings county program.
LUPE, along with UnidosUS, held a town hall where attendees heard from state representatives, educators and policy experts.

House Bill 3 already passed in the Senate, and it is currently pending in the Public Education Committee.
