Issue Position: Education - improved student performance & funding

Issue Position

For our state to be successful in the long term, the Senator believes education is the cornerstone. If our students are well prepared they will make the companies they work for successful. If our companies and residents are successful our state is successful.

Senator Pearson has been a leader on the education funding formula fighting to make sure that every student in every school has the resources they need. He has led efforts to link this work to student achievement and has sponsored a resolution requiring the Board of Education to make recommendations on additional reforms to improve results overall. Looking ahead to the next session, Senator Pearson would like continue making these connections to move our schools forward.
