Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Missouri needs a strong education system to ensure our state's future leaders, workers, and citizens receive the tools they need to succeed. While government can play an important role in education, it must realize there is no "one size fits all" approach. Education policy is best made at the local level where parents, guardians, and the community have the most say in how children are educated. While a strong public school system is necessary and may be the best option for many students, it may not be the best option for all. For some, the best option may be home school, private school, or faith-based school. Parents and guardians, not government, should make the decision about which school option works best for their families. Alex will support legislation leaving education issues at the local level and allowing families to choose the best option for their children.
