Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Senator Cornyn believes Texas children are most likely to succeed when their parents and teachers are in control of their education, not Washington bureaucrats. In this spirit, Senator Cornyn has authored an education reform bill, The Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success Act (A-PLUS). A-PLUS would grant Texas school districts more flexibility by easing federal compliance burdens and pooling federal funding into block grants. This proposal would also increase transparency by requiring regular reports to parents detailing how their taxpayer dollars are being spent. The next generation of Texans is too important to be left in the hands of anyone other than their parents and teachers, and Senator Cornyn is committed to ensuring that the opportunities for Texas schoolchildren are limitless.
