Today, I voted no on H.R. 5, the Student Success Act, because, although there were several good aspects to the legislation, I had very serious concerns. “Our teachers, our schools, and our students deserve the best. But this bill undermines education opportunities for our most vulnerable students, like children with special needs. Additionally, the bill could take away crucial support for struggling schools. It would force bad schools to become worse, leaving our children in circumstances that would increase their likelihood of ending up in a life of poverty, crime, or both. We can do better, and I will continue to work towards solutions that will give our children quality education and secure futures.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
