Rep. Randy Hultgren
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support National School Choice Week.
School choice means empowering families to make the best decision for their students and helping them learn in an environment that best suits their child's needs and interests. We must work to ensure that every student has access to quality, public education, but some families may choose alternatives like charter schools, private schools, or home schools.
State and local governments, as well as the Federal Government, should do their part to pass legislation making it easier for students to choose the school that best suits them.
My wife and I have tried to choose the schooling that is best for our children, and I trust that our decision will help them have the best education possible.
I want all families and all students to have that same opportunity, choosing the education forum that best suits their students.
