Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

My family has a deep history promoting quality education. I am keenly aware from my own experiences that education is the key to personal advancement and lifelong success.

I will fight to allocate more sustainable state funding to early childhood education so that more children from birth to age three can receive high-quality care and learning opportunities;
I will always fight to raise the salaries of teachers and support staff;
I will draft legislation to get more schools access to vocational training programs, as well as programs that help high school graduates stay in college for those first 12 months of transition;
I will draft legislation to require more oversight and direct supervision from the Orleans Parish School Board so every public school meets basic standards of performance and demonstrates how they will grow and improve;
At the state level, I will monitor reports from the Department of Education and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education on how we are closing the equity gap.
