Strengthening our Public Schools

No public institution is more important than the school system. Anna and I were both educated in North Carolina public schools, and our children go to a local public elementary school, where their grandmother, my mother-in-law, now teaches. I also taught high school for two years in Zimbabwe.

I know that no matter where you live, a quality education is key to a better a future. Here's what I will fight for as your state Senator:

* Recruit and retain the best teachers by paying more.
* Make sure schools and classrooms are not overcrowded.
* Expand access to quality pre-Kindergarten programs.
* Tackle the achievement gap and high drop out rate.
* Make sure all qualified students can afford go to college.
