Advocates and educators testifying on childcare access and affordability in the u. S. Before the Senate Health education labor and pensions committee. They discuss expanding childcare access and the impact of available childcare on the economy and training and education requirements for caregivers and educators. This is about two hours.

And let me begin by thanking all of our panelists for being here for what will be i think a very important discussion of what tens of millions of families in this country. As the nation, we often talk about family values and how much we love our children. But unfortunately we have a funny way of showing that love. In America Today, we have the highest rates of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth. And we have if we will be discussing today, a broken its dysfunctional childcare system.

So so you know, i want you all to know that we that i do listen, and i think its a very different thing to try to close an existing school and then open a new one. That is fu fundamentally different to me. Students in the high school, youre getting an up front view on how your local government work, and i invite you if you dont like the way we make the choices, to also run to be up here. That future is as available to you as it was to me. That was i

That future is as available to you as it was to me. That was instilled to me in thurgood maernrshall on the same side of the city. I want you to feel you have not aagency for improving schools in your community, for those reasons, i plan to support the staffs recommendation to approve the charter. President Walton Commissioner sanchez, then Vice President mendozamcdonnell. Commissioner sanchez thank you, president. Thank you, Kipp High School college prep. Youre awesome.
