Issues: Education

HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION AND EDUCATION SPENDING
I support policies enabling Iowa's educational system to provide Iowans with the highest quality education anywhere--from kindergarten to college to workforce development.

Iowa has been a national leader in high quality education standards, high school graduation rates, and education spending.

The 2020 budget calls for $4.275 billion in education expenditure -- 54% of Iowa's entire budget.

As your State Senator, I will carefully look at the education budget every year to ensure we are good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

SCHOOL CHOICE
I support school choice to allow parents to make the best decision for their children's education and future--whether public, private, or homeschooling.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
I support vibrant and innovative approaches to workforce development training that allow individuals to enroll in vocational and technical schools and community colleges to fill immediate employment needs in our local communities.
