Senator Scott who is the Congressional School Choice Caucus co-chair gave this message to students during the event.

“I’m excited about your future, because you are involved in what I believe is the greatest civil rights issue of our time and that is quality education. If we have quality education in every single zip code, America will be the bright star, the city on the hill, and we will live up to our highest potential,”
