I have a young and growing family. I want to ensure New Hampshire continues to be the best place to raise a family. I will work to defend parental involvement and local control of schools. I believe parents should have the ability to opt their children out of statewide assessments and direct their child's education. I believe that education funding is for the benefit of the child, not simply to prop up the local school district, and should follow the child no matter what education they pursue.
