Scott Walker said "Who better to address these problems than parents, States, and local school boards. Let's talk about specifically what the A-PLUS Act does. One, it restores education decisionmaking to State and local leaders who are better positioned to make informed decisions about the needs of their local school communities. It allows States to consolidate funding for any and all programs that are authorized under the ESEA, and it also reduces bureaucracy and increases transparency of student outcomes by redirecting accountability to parents and taxpayers, not Washington. Fundamentally, I believe that government is more accountable, almost always, the more local, and it becomes more effective. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
