Patty Murray actually said...

"ESEA is fundamentally a civil rights law to provide all children access to a fair and equitable high quality education."

"The regulatory process is the process through which ESSA enables States... to shape their education systems."

"Those who know our students best--their parents and their educators--must have a meaningful say in what schools, districts and States are held accountable."

"We want to express our appreciation for the letter that Senator Murray and Representative Scott sent last week to Secretary King raising these very issues."
