Transportation projects continue to progress in the Schertz and Cibolo areas, leading to temporary lane closures while repairs are underway. Learn more about four ongoing and upcoming projects.

FM 1518
Project: About 5.6 miles of FM 1518 will be reconstructed by widening the existing roadway. Two 11-foot lanes will be constructed in each direction, alongside a raised center median, and shared-use paths on each side of the roadway.

Update: Traffic on FM 1518 between I-10 and the Woman Hollering Creek bridge will be shifted to the east, beginning as early as March 19. Two-way traffic along FM 1518 will be maintained. This configuration is expected to be in place until winter 2026.

More than 229,000 students have applied to receive state funds for private education or homeschooling under Texas’ education savings account program, according to the state comptroller’s office.

By the numbers: State data indicates that the most applications have been submitted on behalf of students living in urban areas and the surrounding suburban communities. As of March 8, students living in Houston ISD’s boundaries led the pack with over 8,900 applications, followed by 6,700 applicants in Dallas ISD.

The data reflects how many students living in each district's boundaries have applied, including those not currently enrolled in a public school.

The background: State lawmakers created the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program in 2025.

Students accepted for the 2026-27 school year will receive $10,474 for private education or up to $2,000 for homeschool. Students with disabilities can receive up to $30,000 each.

More details: Of the first 152,000 program applicants, nearly three-quarters were not enrolled in a public school during the 2025-26 school year, data obtained by the Texas Center for Voucher Transparency shows.
