“While this bill may be well-intentioned and makes some improvements to our current policy, it is a missed opportunity to truly put an end to unnecessary federal intervention into education.
I have always believed that education decisions should be made at a local level and that Congress should empower parents and teachers – not Washington bureaucrats.
Instead, this bill extends some of the same failed policies that could provide a path for top-down federal mandates like Common Core."
Concluded Shelby, “I know that local communities make better decisions for their students, parents, teachers, and administrators than Washington does. That is why I will continue to fight against bureaucratic red-tape and misguided policies like Common Core.
It’s time to restore local control over our nation’s education system and get Washington out of our classrooms.”
