Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Charter School Week, during which we celebrate the work that charter schools are doing to expand education freedom and help students thrive in an environment that fits their needs.

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all education solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the flaws of rigid learning systems. Millions of students were trapped in failing school districts simply because of their ZIP Code.

Now, parents are waking up and making their choices heard. Education freedom is the future.

Charter schools offer students an alternative pathway that provides access to high-quality education options that would otherwise be unavailable.

As the chairwoman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, I will continue to advocate for educational pathways like charter schools that put students, not politics, first.
