Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

As the father of two children who were educated in the public school system, I believe that education is the key to our future. Success in our classrooms results in economic growth, opportunity, and a better quality of life for every Mississippian. Our local businesses require an educated and well-trained workforce. In order to fully support our dedicated teachers, we need to provide them with the resources needed to help our children achieve academic success. I support policies that cut administrative costs and direct more money to the classroom where it counts. I strongly support dual enrollment programs which allow high school students to earn both high school and college credits concurrently and career technical education centers which provide students with academic and workplace readiness skills.
