“We will discuss what you as a state legislator can do to address a variety of issues surrounding K-12 education reform, including charter schools accessibility, accountability and transparency, standards for teacher excellence, open enrollment, vouchers, tax credits and blended learning options.”
–Invitation from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to state legislators to attend ALEC’s Education Reform Academy in Amelia Island, Florida on Feb. 3-4. ALEC paid travel and hotel accommodations for attending legislators but barred the media and general public from the meeting.
cont…”And the best part is we’ve already written all the legislation you need to implement these initiatives. Our bills put everything in the private sector where it belongs.
