Dawn White is a former teacher in the Murfreesboro City School System, and she understands the issues our students and teachers face every day. As state representative, Dawn has voted to improve our schools and support teachers. Dawn believes that educational standards should be set by Tennesseans, not forced on us by the federal government. She is opposed to Common Core. As a conservative, she supports giving parents more choice in the education of their children and giving teachers the flexibility to address each student's individual needs.
