                      NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 44, designating 
this week as National School Choice Week.
  There are many paths to a successful education, including traditional 
public schools and charter schools, magnet schools, and homeschooling.
  Finding the right path can include finding a school where a child 
feels safe and can build friendships, meeting the needs of a disabled 
child or playing to a student's strengths in a magnet school.
  School choice is about empowering parents to make educational 
decisions for their children. It can allow minority children to escape 
poorly run, status quo schools.
  There is no one-size-fits-all school system for our students, and I 
am happy to support National School Choice Week, along with every 
family and community that is seeking the best possible education for 
their children.
