Empower Parents in Education

Parents understand better than anybody who their kids are and what they need. School may be where you learn, but it doesn’t need to be limited to a building a bureaucrat assigns you to by your ZIP code. Where you live does not determine who you are, and it should not limit your opportunities.

Funding students not systems would unlock greater potential for every student by allowing education funds to follow the student to the setting or services parents decide are best for their kids; public, private, charter, homeschool or other.

No one understands better than parents that education is not about buildings or districts or systems. It’s about kids. And it’s those kids, not those buildings, we should be funding and fighting for.

I respectfully ask that you support bills this session that empower parents in education.
