Evidence
Education and Workforce Development ... It is vital that all children can go to the school that fits their educational needs. Our current system places too much emphasis on standardized testing while overlooking the unique learning behaviors of individual children. By expanding school choice, we will give families and their children the freedom to choose the right educational option regardless of zip code.
Mr. Reschenthaler said the amendment's author was Representative Ashley Hinson of Iowa, and Hinson stated, 'I rise today to stand for students, to stand for parents' ability to make decisions for their own kids.'
Assessments
The promise was to support expanding school choice, not necessarily to enact a specific school-choice law. The evidence shows Hinson maintained an official issues position explicitly favoring expanded school choice and publicly advanced related parental decision-making arguments on the House floor during the same term. That satisfies the promised support standard.
