                      NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate National School Choice 
Week.
  School choice is about giving families the freedom to choose the best 
education possible for their children, regardless of their learning 
style or home address or financial situation.
  Every parent in America wants to give their child the best education 
possible, and Nebraska has great options: public, private, homeschools. 
Not everyone has the means to access their option of choice.
  I believe we should fund the students, not the systems. When funding 
for education follows students to the school of their choice, families 
win. Nebraska is one of only two States in the Nation that has not 
passed a school choice program.
  I am excited about these opportunities and look forward to giving 
parents the choice.
