Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

New Hampshire's public education system is one of the best in the country and our schools constantly rank in the top ten nationally. It is important for our state to maintain its high standards and local control without being burdened by intrusive federal overreach. For this reason, I oppose Common Core and the federal government's obsession with standardized tests. I support local control in our school districts and I believe we should keep communities empowered to meet their students' needs and full potential rather than handing over our students' futures to Washington DC. I also am a proponent of charter schools that offer students and parents more opportunities and choices than ever before to receive a 21st century education.
