“Dollars to the Classroom will free up $2.7 billion of the taxpayers' money so that dollars can go directly to the schools. If we truly want to make a difference in education of our Nation's children, the Dollars to the Classroom Act is an important step forward. Under this bill, education decisions will be made by the parents, the teachers, communities who best know our children and who together hold the key to strengthening our schools. My State of North Carolina will receive additional dollars. I can assure my colleagues that those dollars will be better spent by the people of North Carolina than the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. Madam Chairman, if we want to truly educate our children, we need to return our tax dollars to the classrooms where it can truly make a difference. Madam Chairman, in closing, if we want to help our children, we need to vote for Dollars to the Classroom, give it back to the parents, give it back to the communities, and help education in America.”
