Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Opposes shifting costs through mandates and underfunding to property taxpayers.
Supports school choice for parents so that funding follows the child.
Supports minimum pay for public school teachers.
Favors reforms to reduce Maine's out-of-control administrative costs in the education system.
​
"The key to true education reform is not more interference and bureaucracy from Washington and Augusta, but putting more control in the hands of parents and teachers working together. Parents should be able to choose the schools their children attend and funds should follow the child to pay for the cost of education at their school of their choice, public or private."
