YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“Education is how people fulfill their humanity,” says school reformer Lisa Graham Keegan. "School choice meets that need precisely.”
As the former superintendent of public instruction in Arizona, Keegan sponsored one of the most comprehensive charter school laws in existence, helped define state education standards, and reformed school financing so that money more closely follows the students for whom it is intended.
She now heads the Keegan Company, consults on various education reform efforts, and serves as executive director of A for Arizona, which aims to increase charter school quality in the state—particularly for low-income students. School choices, says Keegan, "gives people their own capacity—their ability to give back."
Her 2013 memoir, Simple Choices: Thoughts on Choosing Environments that Support Who Your Child is Meant to Be, offers a revealing and powerful personal account of how her life's challenges affected her ideas about education reform.
She recently sat down with Reason TV's Nick Gillespie during the annual meeting of the State Policy Network to discuss the moral and practical cases for school choice.
