Bennet Secures Key Amendments During ESEA Markup

Press Release

Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet today secured several key amendments during the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's consideration of the Every Child Achieves Act. Bennet's amendments will help improve equity, support teachers, spur innovation, and provide for greater flexibility in our schools.

"Our kids and grandkids are depending on us to help create an education system that prepares them for success in the 21st century," Bennet said. "That's why we need to create opportunities to help teachers grow professionally, encourage more innovation to improve student achievement, and ensure all kids have the tools and resources they need to succeed. It's encouraging to see the Senate come together on these priorities."
