Issue Position: Education Reform
My first elected office was the Rogers School Board. I know first hand how important it is to move decisions out of Washington and back to the local people who are most concerned with the education of their own children. The "No Child Left Behind Act" was one of the first bills I helped pass after I was elected to Congress. It increased the power of local school officials to make key choices, and increased their accountability for those decisions. It is working, with test scores up in the Third District and nationally. I will work to build on that success.
