Issue Position: Educating Our Future Generations

Issue Position

Creating a better Owensboro starts with providing a quality education for our children, teens, and young adults. DJ Johnson has always believed that the best way for our children to succeed in life is to help them discover what they love to do, and then help them do it. That is why he has consistently put the interest of students first when making decisions about our education system in Kentucky.

DJ supports all options that provide the best education possible for our children, including our primary education schools, the Owensboro Community and Technical College, Brescia University and Kentucky Wesleyan College, and programs provided by our regional and state universities. Not every student is the same, and we must provide the boradest variety of career options possible. DJ especially applauds the combined efforts of Owensboro Public Schools that created the Owensboro Innovation Academy. Such creative endeavors serve many students who do not thrive in the traditional school system.
