Allow parents to choose their children's schools

Expand school choice to public, charter, & private schools
Whether it's home-schooling, private schools, public schools or charter schools, I believe the choice of what's best for children should be in the hands of their parents--not some bureaucrat in Columbus. I believe that applying free market principles to
the education world will make all ships rise, and ultimately produce stronger, more disciplined and better educated children to compete and succeed in the global marketplace.I recently had the honor of speaking to thousands of parents and children
who were rallying at our Statehouse for the expansion of school choice. Representing various races, religions and socioeconomic classes, these families came from all corners of the state to brave the cold and have their voices heard regarding our fight
to expand educational opportunities in Ohio.
This is an issue that should bring together Republicans, Democrats and Independents, as it is foundational to the strength and prosperity of our nation.
