Issue Position

As a graduate of the public school system and public universities in Prince George's County, Jazz knows firsthand the benefits of a quality education. Jazz is committed to forging partnerships between our local labor unions and our public school system and community college to create opportunities for more skilled labor jobs post-high school. Jazz knows that students will not live up to their full potential as long as we are handicapping our teachers by forcing them to teach to the test. This is why he supported the Less Testing, More Learning Act of 2017, which empowered our teachers to move away from teaching to the test and toward using assessments as one of several measures of student progress.
