	Kelly Ayotte on Education

Will work to pass and sign the Parental Bill of Rights

Kelly will fight for Universal education freedom because every child should have the same learning opportunities and chance at success, regardless of their zip code or family income. As Governor, Kelly will enthusiastically work to pass and sign the Parental Bill of Rights. Parents have a right to decide what is best for their child--period. Children are in school to learn academics--not to be indoctrinated by ideologies. Source: 2024 New Hampshire Senate campaign website KellyForNH.com , Aug 1, 2023

Give every child opportunity to go to school best for them

She hit on supporting law enforcement, blocking new taxes, and ushering in parental rights and universal school choice. "I believe that parents make the best decisions for their children," Ayotte declared. "I'm a strong believer in education freedom, and the reason for that is that every child learns differently. And parents know what is best for their children, and we want to give every child in this state the opportunity to go to the school or the educational setting that is best for hem."

Cut Pell Grants; use private student loan financing

Q: On Student Financial Aid: Should federal student financial aid, like Pell Grants, be increased?

Hassan: Yes

Ayotte: No. Has voted to cut Pell Grants.

Q: On Student Debt: Refinance student loans at lower rates, paid for by increasing taxes on high earners?

Hassan: Yes

Ayotte: No. Voted against allowing students to draw on federal resources to refinance at lower interest rates. Introduced alternative bill to allow students to refinance at lower rates in the private market. Opponents view private sector option as benefitting financial institutions rather than students.

Support school choice, charter schools, and home schooling

Sen. Judd Gregg co-sponsored the No Child Left Behind law. According to Ayotte, she said in her travels around the state that teachers have said the law does little to improve schools. 'It has been a one-size-fits-all (program),' Ayotte said. She said she is not an advocate for taking Washington out of education altogether; she wants to 'detangle federal requirements' and support school choice, charter schools, and home schooling.
