Medium shot, Republican Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush campaigns at Town Hall event in Lexington, South Carolina. Bush discusses public school systems and the policy he would introduce if elected President.JEB BUSH: Here is my idea that we have advocated in a foundation that I set up that I am no longer part of because I am running for President. And that is education savings accounts which goes to your point. An ESA an education savings account in Nevada under Brian Sandoval they passed this and they're implemented right now. A parent can take the per-student funding local and state dollars and go to a private school should they so desire unilaterally. Period. Over and out. No discussion. That's the way you show respect for people who are making sacrifices like you have. And I think we need to open up our system and here's what would happen if we do that; all schools would get better. They would all get better. Because just like the VA will get better when veterans are given a card that says they have the choice to go to a private option or the VA option the VA will have to compete to get better. So will schools when that happens as well.
