Choice is critical when it comes to education. Too many kids are stuck in under-performing schools with parents feeling helpless against the education bureaucracy. Public schools, charter schools, private schools and home-schooling are all options that every parent should have.

I support charter schools and the creation of Education Savings Accounts that allow parents and students to access the state’s allocated per-pupil spending, currently close to $12,000, to pay tuition at private schools or spend on other expenses at any eligible school of their choice.
