Dear Editor, As Chair of the Arizona Senate Education Committee, I passionately work toward bettering the education of every child in the state and I fully support Arizona parents and their school choice rights, including public, charter, private, and homeschool.  The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought about changes in the way Arizona’s children have been educated for the last three months of this school year.  My concern is for any child who might have fallen through the cracks or who was behind before the shutdown and is now continuing to struggle, especially our little ones with reading and our high school…
