Alaska Sen. Frank Murkowski said Congress should help parents, teachers and local leaders create better schools for the 21st Century.
Education is a top priority.
I'm working to help parents, teachers and local leaders build a foundation of excellence and opportunity for every child. Murkowski said he expects the U.S. Senate to begin debating the Educational Opportunities Act next week. America's future depends on education. Tomorrow's leaders, scientists and researchers are sitting in classrooms today. They deserve a first-class public education system.
