Issue Position: Our Schools: Local Control, World-Class Standards

Issue Position

Every school must be a place where every student can learn. And without world-class standards in school, America's future is threatened. That is why education decisions must be made by parents and local school boards, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.

I believe that no student should be forced into schools based simply on where they live, especially if their school is failing or is unsafe. Congress can truly make a difference by investing in school choice, charter schools, tuition tax credits and education savings accounts so that parents can ensure their children are prepared to compete in an increasingly competitive world.
