“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight National School Choice Week. School choice allows parents and children to choose the school that best fits their needs. Whether it is a public school, a private school, a home school, or a hybrid of these options, parents have a right to direct the upbringing and education of their kids. Last year, Nebraska passed its first school choice law, helping more families and kids to pick a school that best fits their needs, but there is still more we can do. Here at the Federal level, I am a proud cosponsor of Congressman Adrian Smith's Educational Choice for Children Act, which would bolster school choice across the Nation. This legislation would help more kids from low-income households access the education of their choice. I urge my colleagues to pass this. Back home in Nebraska, our legislature has been working to fund students, not systems. I am excited to see how they build on their school choice success. Keep up the great work. Housing Week”
