WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman David Schweikert (AZ-06) released the following statement in celebration of National School Choice Week:

“Our education system is one of the most vital components to ensuring the success of future generations. Arizona is fortunate to have some of the highest quality options for early childhood, special needs, K-12, technical, and universities because of the thoughtful educators and families that dedicate their lives to supporting students.

During National School Choice Week, we must reinforce the importance of flexible options for students and systems that will effectively serve our children’s needs. Several studies have confirmed that meeting the diverse needs of our students requires an array of options for schooling in our communities. By providing choices, we are ensuring America’s future generations are equipped to become the problem solvers we will need.”
