An educated citizenry is the cornerstone of a strong community. I will make fully funding Utah's schools a priority, and work to free teachers from constraints that keep them from bringing out the best in their students. Education doesn't stop at high school, and I will take action to empower higher education - not just at four year universities, but also through state support of trade education, community college, and other programs that will create a dynamic, self-sustaining workforce to usher Utah into the tech age.
