Daines Introduces Bill to Empower Montana Parents, Keep School Control Local

In honor of National School Choice Week, U.S. Senator Steve Daines today reintroduced the “Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success (A-PLUS) Act,” a bill to keep education tax dollars in the hands of Montana parents, teachers and local leaders. “Bureaucrats in Washington don’t know Montana students like Montana parents and teachers do,” said Daines. “That’s why our education tax dollars should be spent by Montanans on Montanans. The future is brighter when our students are receiving high-quality local education from the ones who know their individual needs.” Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.),
