Building on historic funding per pupil, David supports increased pay for veteran teachers and support staff. Students succeed when there is less testing and more learning in Florida classrooms. David stands against common core, and strongly supports the expansion of vocational and life skills training, as well as improving the Junior ROTC programs in our local schools. School safety is his top priority. Physical security remains an important issue, however safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our schools must also be addressed. Open communication and shared solutions between the state and local school boards is critical to our success. Co-sponsor of HB37, School Bus Safety law.
