Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I had a successful career as a teacher, principal, and superintendent for 31 years in Florence and Mapleton. I know firsthand the struggles our teachers have in a system that is often failing our kids. They need more support and resources to teach kids, especially in rural areas like ours.

Governor Kate Brown and her Department Education staff have a one-size-fits-Portland approach that is out of touch with coastal families. We need solutions that ensure that our tax money goes directly to teachers and into classrooms.
