Congressman Biggs Reintroduces Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs reintroduced the Ending Common Core and Expanding School Choice Act. This legislation repeals some of the stringent federal policies tied to education funding for low-income students and allows states and parents to implement educational options that meet the needs of their children.

“During COVID-19 we learned that parents need to have greater control over their child’s education. When traditional public schools shut down in 2020, parents were forced to turn their homes into classrooms and put their own careers and incomes on hold to pick up the slack, while public schools continued to receive federal funds. Parents became aware of the indoctrination of their children. My bill would have given states the option for federal education dollars to follow students to alternative education options, such as private schools, charter schools, homeschooling, or private tutoring.

I will continue fighting to limit federal involvement in our nation’s education system. This bill is an important first step towards increasing choice in education and ensuring students have access to the education that best meets their needs.”– Congressman Andy Biggs
