Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

As a family-oriented state, emphasis on a quality educational system is extremely important. Idaho has a responsibility to its children to fulfill the Constitutional mandate to provide a uniform and thorough system of schools for our children. I believe that there are three major components of a successful educational system: local control, balanced allocation of resources, and school choice.

During my time on the Senate Education Committee, I have advocated for reducing federal intrusion into our local classrooms, increasing local control and innovation, and increasing parental rights in education.

Idaho families want and deserve the ability to be active and involved in their children's education whether that be in traditional public schools, charter schools, online schools, religious schools, or home schools.
