Give states more flexibility to improve K-12 education, reform higher education financing, improve accountability, and expand workforce development opportunities.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo’s bill record shows H.R. 899 in the 119th Congress, with Victoria Spartz listed among the cosponsors. The bill title is "To terminate the Department of Education," and the record places it with the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
GovInfo records that Mrs. Spartz introduced H.R. 1895 and that it was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means. The bill’s subject is pension restoration rather than K-12 or higher education, but it is one of her recent Education and Workforce-jurisdiction actions.
Assessments
The evidence shows Victoria Spartz cosponsored H.R. 899 to terminate the Department of Education, which is directionally related to giving states more K-12 flexibility, and had other Education and Workforce Committee activity. However, the cited bills were only introduced/referred and did not enact the promised outcomes: state education flexibility, higher-education financing reform, accountability improvements, or expanded workforce development opportunities. Because she made a concrete legislative attempt aligned with part of the promise but there is no delivered federal policy outcome, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
