Parents Choice Of Schools, Teachers & Principals - myMotherLode.com


Parents Choice Of Schools, Teachers & Principals - myMotherLode.com: "Governor Schwarzenegger was Tuesday's KVML 'Newsmaker of the Day'. Here are his words:

'Hello, this is Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with another California Report.

The first week of January is always the busiest time of the year for a governor.

And we started this week with some very good news for education.

The California legislature passed major education-reform bills and let me tell you, many people thought that could never happen.

But we know too many children have been trapped in low-performing schools.
The exit doors may as well have been chained.

Now, parents have the right to free their children from underperforming schools without a principal's permission.

That means parents can send their children to a new school or even a new district. That is a great freedom."
