Issue Position: Local Education

Issue Position

As a mother, providing my children with a quality education is a top priority. That's why we need to empower parents in their children's education, and spend more of our tax dollars in the classroom. Kids should not be sentenced to a failing school and public schools should not be expected to compete in a market with both hands tied behind their backs. Children should never have their futures controlled by overreaching politicians. Our kids need an education, not more bureaucracy.
As most parents know, the solutions are easy to figure out. The hard part is taking on the entrenched unions and bureaucrats.
I understand the duress local teachers are under and I know how to reform education. During my tenure as a Trustee on the Lake Travis ISD School Board, my conservative approach helped the district cut unnecessary costs and provide a high-quality education, and led to my gubernatorial appointment to the State Board of Educator Certification. Once on the Board it was the educators who elected me as their vice chair.
