Issue Position: Fight for Better Education and Protection for our Teachers

Issue Position

High school graduation rates and income rates are the greatest challenges for Kentucky. We know that better educated individuals are more likely to be contributing members of the community and have access to preventative healthcare. Some of the schools in our district struggle with child homelessness. Other schools struggle to keep classrooms safe, both for the teachers and children.

I will work to strengthen education for our children. A healthy classroom makes for a healthy workforce down the road. Our children deserve strong and long-lasting chances at a brighter future. We need to take a hard look at the effectiveness of Common Core Standards as well as develop competitive and employable students.
