If confirmed, I will be a strong advocate for great public schools. ”

The vast majority of students in this country will continue to attend public schools. ”

If a parent chooses to go to a school that is not a public school, then that is a decision made and a contract made with that provider. ”

I expect there will be more public charter schools. ”

All schools that receive public funding should be accountable, yes. ”

We're not proposing any shifting of funding from public schools to private schools. ”

That's where my heart has been for three decades is to really empower and allow all families the same kind of opportunities I've had for my kids. ”

We knew we had the resources to send our kids to whatever school was best for them. ”

I will not be deterred from my mission of helping kids in this country. ”

If you don't live in an area with good public schools, you can move to a different place if you have the financial means to do so. ”
