Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Our children deserve the very best we can provide. Last session, I worked hard with my colleagues to secure over $1 billion in new funding for our public schools. Here's what we need to work on next:

We need to fight against irresponsible cuts to public education and against unfunded mandates at the Capitol.

Reducing class sizes will ensure each student can get the unique attention they need from their teachers. This way, all of kids will be better equipped for a bright future.

Increasing teacher wages will ensure we are gaining and retaining the best teachers.

Parents should have the freedom to choose how they want to educate their children, whether that be public school, private school, charter school, or homeschooling. However, public funds should not be taken from our public schools to fund alternative education options.
