Capitol Hill Rally Celebrates 'School Choice Champions'
Washington Examiner
School choice advocates gathered on Capitol Hill Tuesday to rally for educational options and celebrate three members of Congress that PublicSchoolOptions.org has named as Champions of School Choice.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind.; and Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., were all awarded small trophies and recognized as Champions of School Choice.
"When you give parents options, when you give them a choice, kids have a better chance," Scott said. "No one loves their child like their parents, and the results are amazing." Scott praised the Washington, D.C. Opportunity Scholarships program. Scott said the program has a graduation rate almost twice as high as the District's traditional public schools and spends only 40 percent per student as much as traditional public schools do.
