I look forward to working as a member of the conference committee to put education progress and decisions back in the hands of parents, teachers, and state and local governments. I also look forward to working to make sure this agreement includes an amendment that I sponsored in the Senate-passed measure that ensures parents have the information needed to make decisions on their childrens education, including their rights to opt their children out of mandated testing. The Senate voted 91-6 to move to conference on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The conference committee will hold its first meeting today, November 18, 2015, at 2:30 p.m., where Isakson and others will deliver opening remarks. The conference committee meeting will be streamed online here. In addition to Isakson, Republican Senate negotiators include Sens. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., Richard Burr, R-N.C., Rand Paul, R-Ky., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Mark Kirk, R-Ill., Tim Scott, R-S.C., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and Bill Cassidy, R-La. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
