The Dallas Morning News is broadening its reporting on private education, and we want your input to shape that coverage. Our team is planning a deeper look into private schools, homeschooling, and the wider school choice movement across North Texas, but we know the real questions come from families living it every day.
Are you weighing the cost of tuition against the quality of local public schools? Curious about how private schools handle special education, gifted programs, or mental health support? Wondering how the rise of homeschooling co-ops is changing the landscape, or what the latest state voucher proposals mean for your child's future? Maybe you are a teacher who moved from public to private, or a parent who pulled a kid out mid-year.
We want to hear those specific concerns, the ones that keep you up at night or make you second-guess a decision. Send us your questions, big or small, about admissions, financial aid, curriculum differences, teacher qualifications, or the social trade-offs. Your experiences and doubts will guide our stories, so we can report on what actually matters to you, not just what the data says.
Share your thoughts through our reader survey or by emailing our education desk. We will use your feedback to prioritize topics, find sources, and dig into the issues that deserve more attention. No question is too basic or too complicated. Help us build a resource that serves North Texas families with clarity and honesty.
