I am thrilled about this new bill that will finally put an end to the wasteful spending on ghost students in our education system. It is about time that we hold schools accountable for the funds they receive and ensure that they are actually being used to educate real, living students. This bill will help save taxpayer money and ensure that our education system is more efficient and effective. I fully support this bill and believe that it is a step in the right direction for our country.
