Issue Position

Dr Kumar has said, "Education changes Lives! I am where I am in life, certainly, because of my education.....and what mom did for me!"

He has supported and will continue to support policies that provide the best education for all students in Tennessee. He has worked to provide the Largest Ever Increases in funding for Public Education and Teacher Salaries. These policies have moved Tennessee from number 49 to 34 in the NAEP rankings. We are also the fastest improving state in the nation!

Because each student learns differently and each family has different needs, Dr. Kumar supports parental School choice.

Safety of our children in schools is paramount and must be assured.
