California; and
   WHEREAS, California's student body is one of the most diverse in

should have access to the highest quality schools possible; and
   WHEREAS, Taxpayers and parents who fund the public school system
should be able to choose which school is best for their children
within state and local legal parameters; and

   WHEREAS, School choice spans all socioeconomic, political,
cultural, and ethnic groups; and
   WHEREAS, California recognizes the many high-quality teachers and
school employees in public and private schools who are committed to
educating children; and
   WHEREAS, Parents, students, and teachers in states across the
nation come together each year to recognize school choice and the
need for effective educational options for all children; now,
