In June 2013, Lamar Alexander introduced a Better Schools Plan -- the "Every Child Ready for College or Career Act"-- to stop Washington from deciding whether schools and teachers are succeeding or failing. 

Under this plan states will be free to set their own high standards and tests for students in reading, math and science.  And states would not have to send their education plans to the Secretary of Education for his approval. On June 12, 2013 Lamar also voted to defend states' rights regarding Common Core education standards.

If you believe that Tennesseans can make better education decisions for our children than Washington ever could, please sign on to stand with Lamar today!
