California’s public school system ranks #44 in the United States. We are FAILING to teach our students the fundamental skills to succeed in life; reading, writing, math and science. As your Assemblywoman, I will fight to:
State funds that parents can use to pay for a wide variety of educational options. Parents should have the freedom to choose how to use their taxpayer dollars to pay for their child’s education: public schools, charter schools, private schools, home schools, online learning, text books, even services and therapies for students with special needs.
ESAs empower parents by giving them the freedom to choose the education option that best meets their children’s individual needs.
