High quality public education for all is a critical component of our society. It is time to shift the focus in education away from testing and toward deeper learning for all students. Trauma-informed education and wrap-around services for mental health care and other basic needs must be a priority for our most at-risk students. We need to ensure that all students with learning differences, including dyslexia, are provided research-based interventions for their needs. Students with disabilities need intentional support during their transition to adulthood that should be provided by the K-12 system. Educators need to be respected as professionals. Tina will bring the voice of all educators, as well as citizens who value public education, directly to the KY House of Representatives.
