What Parents Need to Know

This recognizes what truly makes a difference in providing a quality
education. It calls for a highly qualified teacher in the core subjects in every
classroom; the use of proven, research-based instructional methods; and timely
information and options for parents. Schools that underperform are held
accountable, providing their students with free tutoring or transfer to a better performing public school. In other words, children’s education needs are
placed first—where they belong.
