Parents in Virginia and parents in Louisiana all agree that PARENTS should determine what their children are taught in school. Congratulations for flipping the Virginia House of Delegates from blue to red my friend @cToddGilbert! https://t.co/NSkiKoyeWl

Appreciate Phyllis Taylor and the legacy she and her husband have created with the Louisiana Tuition Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS). #LaLege <�<� https://t.co/86RAvgDj2P
Parents are taxpayers and they want more choices in how their children are educated.#LaLege #LaGov https://t.co/i3G4l9Droo
Great way to teach young learners the importance of washing their hands. #PreK #loveourteachers https://t.co/zLD9DGFtLu
I will always advocate for more STEM in our schools. With the right STEM skills, LA citizens can work for LA companies in high-wage, high-demand jobs. It's a win for families and a win for our state! #LaLege https://t.co/7CVOsRIMG9
Giving parents the ability to choose the best educational setting for their child & to be able to use their state education dollars is good for students. Not every child learns the same way. My Senate Resolution SCR25 will get the ball rolling in having the Dept of Education<U+2026> https://t.co/BCJiz2Vhn7 https://t.co/0yYDNYaYe6
Teaching kids to read should be our single biggest goal in education. Having 50% of 2nd & 3rd graders reading below grade level is a crisis! This bill would have given parents a private school or homeschool option rather than being stuck in a classroom setting that isn't working. https://t.co/PfkhXDBPyX
Encouraging more women in STEM is a passion of mine & is part of the STEM legislation I passed in 2017. #LaLege Having more female STEM mentors is definitely needed to help inspire our future female scientists, technologists, engineers, & mathematicians. #LaSTEM 🤖⚙️ https://t.co/E5q8ECoXxD
Did you know: Over 60% of Louisiana 3rd graders are not reading on grade level. This is critical to our future in Louisiana. The time to act is Now! #SB203 establishes the Reading ESA & allows parents a choice to change schools if 3rd graders are not reading at grade level. https://t.co/ic3UJozwzT
EVERY student should be reading by the end of 3rd grade. If you can't read, then you can't learn. This bill puts the assessments and supports in place and holds schools accountable. #LaLege 🍎📕📖 https://t.co/Bx21rZCZSL
