Issue Position

We need to re-focus education on essential knowledge and skills, remove the agendas from the classroom, and ready our children for the job market. I believe we need to reform education funding and give local school boards, parents, and teachers the flexibility to adopt education plans suitable to their local needs, economy, and culture. So much of education money is spent at the state level establishing one-size-fits all educational plans that are more about the agendas of special interests than the education our children. That money needs to get back down to the local level. College preparation is important, but vocational education should be available to help train our children for jobs that will be ready for them upon graduation from high school.
