Washington,
DC
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC),
a
long
time
champion
of
school
choice
and
member
of
the
Senate
Education
Committee,
today
introduced
a
resolution
declaring
this
week
National
School
Choice
Week.
Scott
said,
“No
matter
where
a
child
lives,
the
end
goal
remains
the
same:
to
equip
our
students
with
a
quality
education
that
propels
them
to
a
better
future.
As
a
kid
who
went
to
four
different
schools
before
the
fifth
grade,
I
know
the
difference
a
stable
learning
environment
can
make
in
a
child’s
life.
That
is
why
I
have
been
such
a
strong
proponent
of
school
choice,
and
am
so
proud
to
introduce
this
year’s
resolution
declaring
National
School
Choice
Week.
I
know
the
incredible
results
that
can
occur
when
we
empower
our
families
and
children
with
the
ability
to
choose
the
type
of
school
that
best
fits
their
individual
needs
and
learning
styles.
Education
is
a
bedrock
for
success,
and
we
should
look
to
strengthen
that
foundation
by
expanding
the
choices
our
families
have
at
their
disposal.
This
week
let
us
celebrate
every
type
of
K-12
school
–
public,
private,
charter
school,
homeschool,
and
online
–
that
helps
prepare
our
next
generation
for
college,
the
workforce,
and
the
amazing
opportunities
that
lie
ahead.”

National
School
Choice
Week
