Issue Position: Vocational Education and School Choice

Issue Position

Workforce needs are changing rapidly and we are not adjusting quickly enough. As the pool of skilled craftsmen across all disciplines continues to age, more and more technical expertise departs with each retirement. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on state universities with virtually no accountability on cost control, while what we should be investing in is much needed vocational education at both the high school and trade school levels. Further, parents should have the right to send their children to the schools of their choice, and to have a portion of their tax dollars follow their child.
