06.10.2015 AFC Daily News Clips – morning edition

Good morning:

This morning’s must read comes from The Des Moines Register where Gov. Scott Walker published an op-ed, “We changed broken education system.” And, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy wants you to meet the Flores family. In a new video, the Flores family demonstrates how even limited forms of school choice in Detroit is positively impacting on the lives of children.
Have a great Wednesday!
Matt

School Choice Tweet of the Morning:

Looking forward to thanking @GovMaryFallin today for her leadership expanding charters in OK!
