On Dec 8, The House Education and Labor Committee announced that Rep. John Kline (R-MN) would serve as the Committee’s Chairman in the 112th Congress. The fourth term Republican, who also serves on the Armed Services Committee, noted he was “humbled by the decision of [his] colleagues to allow [him] to lead this panel”.
In a statement, he noted a few of his goals for the Committee: “Job creation and American competitiveness are vital national priorities. As Chairman, I will ensure they are at the forefront of the Education and Labor Committee agenda… My goal for the federal programs and agencies that oversee our schools and workplaces is to provide certainty and simplicity. We must ensure federal red tape does not become the enemy of innovation…”
CEC congratulates Rep. Kline and looks forward to working with him and the rest of the committee to create and support legislation benefitting all children with exceptionalities. To read the full press release, click here.
