I would like to thank the chairman for yielding. I am very grateful to Chairman John Kline and Subcommittee Chairman Todd Rokita for their leadership on this very important issue for our children. Mr. Chairman, big government often creates big problems. Our education system needs limited government reform. Having access to the highest quality education paves the path for tremendous opportunity, success, and fulfillment. Locally elected school boards, hardworking teachers, school administrators, and active parents know what's best for our children's education needs, not Washington bureaucrats. The passage of today's bill, the Student Success Act, will promote our education system by limiting Washington's influence so that our leaders on the local level and classroom teachers have the power to make decisions to help America's children succeed. South Carolina's Second District has a wide range of diverse school districts. We have children from all backgrounds of life--wealthy, poor, rural, and urban communities. As an appreciative husband to a retired schoolteacher, I've seen firsthand what we need to do to help our children succeed. The best way to adequately prepare our children for the future is to empower our locally elected school boards, who are responsive to input from parents and teachers. {time} 1500 What works in suburban Lexington communities may not work in rural Barnwell County.…
