Expand school choice

Every child, regardless of location or background, must have access to a quality education. That's why I have worked so hard to improve our public schools, as well as expand school choice so that parents have the best options available for educating their children. We must also train our workforce by providing them with the tools needed to fill the jobs that are open. Education
