His Vote Puts Washington Bureaucrats Ahead Of Our Students
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the House voted on the Student Success Act, a common-sense measure that puts control and oversight back into the hands of parents and teachers instead of Washington bureaucrats.
Unfortunately, Pete Gallego wants more bureaucratic interference in our children’s education. Instead of giving control back to parents, Gallego simply believes that Washington has all the answers
“Pete Gallego’s vote was a true disservice to millions of students across the country,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “It’s clear that after running up trillions in debt, Washington can’t even run Washington. Yet, Gallego thinks they should be in charge of our children’s education.”
Pete Gallego Voted Against The Student Success Act. (H.R. 5, Roll Call Vote 374, 221-207, 7/19/13)
The Student Success Act Would “Reduce The Federal Footprint In The Nation’s Classrooms, Support More Effective Teachers, And Empower Parents.” “The Student Success Act will restore local control, reduce the federal footprint in the nation’s classrooms, support more effective teachers, and empower parents.” (H.R. 5 – The Student Success Act Fact Sheet, House Education Committee, Accessed On 7/19/13)
The Bill Would Eliminate “Adequate Yearly Progress” Metrics And Replace It “With State-Determined Accountability Systems.” “Eliminates AYP and replaces it with state-determined accountability systems, thereby returning authority for measuring student performance to states and school districts.” (H.R. 5 – The Student Success Act Fact Sheet, House Education Committee, Accessed On 7/19/13)
