Patty Murray actually said...

"Providing pathways to college for nontraditional and underrepresented students should be a top priority of ours."

"I fought with Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) for ESSA's bipartisan data transparency provisions to help us better understand how schools are serving all kids."

"The very people who need to understand how schools are doing around certain subgroups the most--the families of students who belong in these subgroups--aren't able to get the information."

"It's very important that we know what is carried out during implementation follows congressional intent and reflects the bipartisan agreement that we make."
