WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and 20 colleagues in introducing Congressional Review Act (CRA) legislation to nullify the Biden Administration’s new rules adding burdensome requirements to charter schools seeking funding.
“These days school choice is a necessary resource for parents and families across the country and charter schools are a crucial component. Charter schools offer an affordable, quality education, and present more options for students and parents. We must protect charter schools from the Biden Administration’s bureaucratic red-tape and new regulations on their funding so these institutions can continue to serve and educate their students,” said Senator Cramer.
“Time and time again, this administration has bowed to big-labor unions and liberal extremists at the expense of children’s futures. Now they are outdoing themselves with rules that will undermine charter schools — tuition-free, top-notch public education options that serve primarily disadvantaged students,” said Senator Scott. “Support for these schools has never been a partisan issue. It’s time the administration put politics aside and joined parents in the fight for quality education.”
Joining Senators Cramer and Scott are Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mike Braun (R-IN), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Thom Tillis (R-NC), James Lankford (R-OK), Rick Scott (R-FL), Steve Daines (R-MT), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Cornyn (R-TX), James Risch (R-ID), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Todd Young (R-IN), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Rand Paul (R-KY), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Bill Hagerty (R-TN).
