Issue Position

Having raised two children in the Kettle Moraine School District, I know firsthand the value of great teachers and school administrators, they can make a significant difference in a child's future. We need to give district's greater control and decision making at the local level along with less regulation in exchange for better tools for parents to consider a school's achievement.

In addition, making sure our school districts receive their fair share of State revenue is critical. Our schools shouldn't be penalized for being successful, frugal, and cost efficient while other wasteful school districts produce poor and more-costly results. I also believe in school choice and having a strong network of private schools and non-traditional educational alternatives (like virtual schools). This not only provides alternatives, it creates a, "free market" environment that encourages our public schools to continually improve.
