"I am proud of the role the House Democrats played in producing a new K-12 education law that I believe will fulfill the ESEA's original promise as a fundamental civil rights law."

"I think we've heard a lot of very good testimony, and I want to thank our witnesses."

"Today's hearing focuses on Head Start, a program whose mission is to promote school readiness of young children from low-income families."

"The return on investment by reduced incarceration, reduced teen pregnancy, reduced remedial education, those reduced costs are a lot more than the cost of the Head Start program."
