Clearly #SchoolChoice is becoming a litmus test issue for the GOP.

I’m glad this family found what their preschooler needed in AZ. More states should offer preschoolers — and all students — such opportunities.

By “take a stand,” do you mean defund scholarships from kids who suffer from dyslexia? Or kicking special needs kids out of Easterseals? Because that doesn’t seem bold to me. It seems brazen. #arpx #arleg

@JasonBedrick Never let some serious research get in the way of a passionate agenda

You can find a list of studies on school choice and civic outcomes here, but the short story is that choice leads to greater civic knowledge and engagement, higher levels of political tolerance, etc.

Choice is meaningful when people can act on their values

Let's play a game called "Name That Policy!" Here's how it works: you have to guess what policy the Urban Institute is proposing here. Is it:
a) education
b) housing
c) food
d) medicine

It’s time for parents across this nation to become informed and engaged to take a seat at the table of our education system! @1ReformAlliance will work with you to set up a parent network to get involved! #arnews #arpx

Nice job Florida! #Arkansas is on its way to becoming more #student focused & #teacher led as well! We now have a voucher & a tax credit scholarship- although they are both relatively small now we know the demand is there

@rweingarten @AFTIndiana Vouchers give parents the choice to send their kids to schools that match their values & ideals. It's obvious that many public schools are failing to properly prepare kids for the future & teachers have little interest in opening schools back up. Invest in students, not schools!
