Moolenaar: Education Law Provides More Flexibility to Parents and Teachers

Today, President Obama signed into law Republican-led, conservative education reforms that put American students first.

Representative John Moolenaar (R-Midland), a former charter school administrator, voted for the legislation when it was in the House last week. He welcomed news of the president's signature and released the following statement:

"I voted for this new law because it prohibits the federal government from incentivizing or coercing states into adopting Common Core. The bill signed into law today repeals federal mandates and it provides more flexibility to parents and teachers to do what is best for students."
