Rep. Kiley Statement on School Choice Victory

<p><strong>WASHINGTON</strong>&nbsp;–&nbsp;In a House Floor Speech last Thursday, Rep. Kevin Kiley, Chair of the House Subcommittee that covers K-12 Education, called on House Republicans to enact legislation that could expand school choice to millions of families.</p>

<p>Today, the House Ways &amp; Means Committee answered that call by&nbsp;including the&nbsp;<em>Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA)</em>&nbsp;in its budget reconciliation bill, which Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is a co-sponsor of. ECCA establishes a tax credit for donations to scholarship-granting organizations that expand access to K–12 education options.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&#8220;The failure of our public education system, which was accelerated by the Biden Administration, is an urgent&nbsp;crisis facing this country. We now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn the tide by catalyzing a school choice revolution across America. We cannot let that opportunity go to waste.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kiley and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) are continuing to advocate for their legislation, the High-Quality Charter School Act, which would provide tax credits to expand existing charter schools with a strong track record of success and could triple the number of students attending charter schools across America.</p>
