Political Quotes

“Paine College and Savanna State University are two Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 12th district of Georgia. Both of these institutions do a wonderful job of preparing young professionals for lives in the working world. With these two institutions and the many minority-serving institutions across this country, it is imperative that we increase opportunities for Americans of all educational, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds to become highly qualified teachers. I was proud to sponsor an amendment that will allow grants to be competitively awarded to highly qualified teacher-training programs for eligible institutions. These institutions can include Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native-serving institutions and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions.”
