Issue Position

As a mother of 3 daughters that graduated from Collier County Public Schools, Kathleen knows that parents and local school boards, not bureaucrats, know what's best for students. That's why she lead the 2013 effort to give school districts more flexibility to choose the most effective strategies to close student achievement gaps. Kathleen believes in empowering parents through choice in their child's education, including the option to attend charter or parochial schools. She opposes Common Core's federal overreach into our education system and any attempt to implement a "one size fits all" model. Kathleen has voted to place caps on student testing, roll back statewide testing, and eliminate duplicative final exams.
