Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Jeremy believes education is the foundational cornerstone for a successful life. In order for our children to excel, we must start early and allocate necessary resources that will ensure academic success in their future. Just as learning starts at birth, so too should our efforts in educating our children. From birth to four years of age is an extremely critical time in the development of children. We need to encourage local school systems to begin investing in Pre-K development in order to better prepare our children for a 21st century learning environment. As state representative, Jeremy will work to guarantee that quality education investments begin at birth, and he will assist local efforts to provide our children the opportunity to realize their potential and dreams from the earliest possible age.

Having attended and graduated from public schools for his own education (Elementary, High School, College & Law School), public education is very important to Jeremy. He understands the importance of educational access for every child, no matter their financial situation or location. Jeremy will continue to fight to ensure that every student has access to a quality school and educational opportunities.

Jeremy will also work to ensure that our high schools offer not only college-bound curriculum, but strong technical skills classes as well for those students who do not wish to attend a university after graduating high school. He will fight for our universities being fully-funded in order to keep our best and brightest students in Louisiana, and will work to bring stakeholders together in order to maximize the opportunities for everyone in this state.
