D.C. Opportunity Scholarship gives parents more options

A one-size-fits-all approach to education is wrong. While we need strong oversight and accountability, schools should have greater flexibility to manage and size programs, compensate top-performing educators, and embrace technology. We must also give schools the flexibility to create innovative solutions for pressing issues such as dropout prevention and achievement gaps.

Increasing flexibility in education also means giving parents more options for their children. Parental choice is vital to expanding opportunity and giving many greater access to a variety of educational programs. Charter schools, implemented appropriately, should be part of the equation.

The federal government, through the Department of Education, has a role in making our schools better and in improving educational outcomes. The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship uses federal funds to give parents more options and I support this program.

Opposes school vouchers.

Delaney opposes the CC Voters Guide question on vouchers

Christian Coalition publishes a number of special voter educational materials including the Christian Coalition Voter Guides, which provide voters with critical information about where candidates stand on important faith and family issues. The Christian Coalition Voters Guide summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Vouchers that allow parents to choose private school for their children"
