Chair Cassidy Requests Stakeholder Feedback on Improving Students’ Academic Growth

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is requesting information from parents and other stakeholders on how students' academic success in K-12 schools is measured.

"The American education system fails the students who need it the most," wrote Dr. Cassidy. "Some states have led the way in developing growth measures and systems for sharing that information with families. Much can be learned from these approaches, including how federal laws and regulations get in the way and how the federal government can support state efforts."

As Chairman of the HELP Committee, Cassidy is leading efforts to empower families and improve educational outcomes for children.
