Parents should have control of their child's education.

A parent should be able to send their child to the school that is best for the individual and not based on their zip code.

We need a strong school system with parental choice.

Public school systems should not have a monopoly on educating our children based on geographics. Parents should be able to chose which school their child attends based on the schools performance. School Choice helps to promote results and accountability of all school systems.

Parents/guardians know what's best for their child(ren) not government. A child should not be limited to public schools based on where they live. Besides, today's children do not learn in the same way — flexibility and access matter. Again, it is about parental choice, personal responsibility for a parent(s) to make the choice.

I support responsible school choice because every family deserves the opportunity to select the educational environment that best meets the needs of their child. Programs such as education savings accounts, tax-credit scholarships, and specialized scholarship programs are designed to expand those opportunities, especially for low-income families or students with unique learning needs. At the same time, I believe school choice policies must be implemented responsibly: ensuring transparency, accountability, and continued investment in strong public schools so that all students benefit from a high-quality education system.

The child should be at the center of every education decision we make. Choice ensures that ethos is followed.

I've been a champion of school choice from the day I was elected. I am the product of a family who chose school choice. I believe that every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education, regardless of their zip code, as each family should have the chance to decide for themselves the best school option that fits their family's needs.

I believe that the parents can and will make the best choice for their children. By making a choice to put them in a better school or type of education, the tax dollars they spend, should follow their student. Parents should not be taxed and then charged again to place their students in a school system that works best for their student and/or beliefs.

Parents know what is best for their children — no family should co-parent with the government. Every child's educational needs are different, and families should decide.

A child's education should be up to a parent's choice, not a school system's attendance zone.

School choice is a deeply personal issue for me. I am the product of both public and homeschool education. As a young student, public school was not challenging me from a curriculum standpoint. My parents made the decision to take matters into their own hands by pulling me out and educating me at a faster pace with greater depth. When I returned to public school, I tested ahead into the next grade. I understand the sacrifices, both in time and finances, that my parents made to provide those opportunities. I also recognize that not every family is in a position to do the same. That's exactly why school choice matters. It expands access to those opportunities for more families across Georgia. No child's access to a quality education should be determined by their ZIP code. Expanding options through mechanisms like ESAs and other school choice programs empowers families to choose the environment that best fits their child's needs whether that be public, private, or homeschooling. Parents are the primary and most important educators in their children's lives, and I will fight to ensure education funding follows the student, not the system. School choice introduces accountability into a system that has operated too long without it. When families have no alternatives, there is little incentive for underperforming schools to improve. But when funding follows the student, schools must compete to earn and keep families. That competition drives better outcomes, stronger schools, and more innovation across the board. At its core, this issue is about putting families first and ensuring every child in Georgia has access to an education that meets their needs and prepares them for success.

Parents know what education is best for their child — we need to empower families and provide universal choice for every student!

Every American parent should have the right to school choice. Period.

For our education, I believe that families stand at the center of our society. And that every family has a personal stake in promoting excellence in education. Excellence does not begin in city hall, and Washington when it comes to excellence, excellence must begin in our homes and neighborhood schools, where it's the responsibility of every parent and teacher and the right of every child education our children come first. We must do more to restore discipline to schools; and we must encourage the teaching of new basics, reward teachers of merit, enforce tougher standards, and put our parents back in charge. Every child deserves an opportunity does not depend on your ZIP code and that every child deserves a better education of choice and that's school choice.

I have consistently voted for school choice. I believe it is the civil rights issue of our day.

Every child deserves access to a quality education — this is the greatest civil rights issue of our time. School choice is one of the few issues that is truly non-partisan and widely supported by families across the political spectrum.

The educational system in Georgia is failing. With more than 52% of the state's budget going to education, this should not be so. Our children and their futures need to be better served.

I believe parents should be able to choose the best education route for their children.

I come from a family of educators and I support the opportunity of parents to choose how to best educate their child.

I support parents and their ability to make the best decision for their children's education. I will support legislation for this choice. I am a father of 2 wonderful children, one being in public school while the other is in private school.
