Issue Position: Local Control of Education

Issue Position

No one knows how to educate our children better than the parents and teachers who see our students every day. The power to develop student curriculum and tests needs to stay at the local level and not pushed down from the state and federal government.

The parents in our school districts know what is best for their children and do not need directives from the state and federal government. The interference of both state and federal government has siphoned away most of our local control in education; stripping us of our rights. The education of our children is not "a one size fits all," and we need to put parents back into the driver's seat of their children's education.
