Issue Position: Quality Education for All Students

Issue Position

Our children deserve the best education from the best teachers. We must make it a priority to keep great teachers in the classroom and that starts with making sure they are fairly compensated. If we are going to attract jobs to our region then we need to prepare our children for the jobs of tomorrow. Finally, a cookie-cutter approach to education does not work. Different students have different needs and we owe it to them and our teachers to have a flexible system that can accommodate these students and best prepare them for success.

Additionally, rural areas of the state like ours are being left behind as we struggle to try and keep our facilities from falling apart. It's important to take steps forward to modernize and improve our crumbling school infrastructure.
