Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Children are our future. Education will make their future.

"During this budget crisis I worked to protect small schools in Rural Arizona and was able to keep their reductions at 50%."
"I supported and protected Transportation dollars. Rural schools are more dependet on these dollars."
"I supported changes in accounting procedures to save money for schools."
"There were many other reforms I supported."

I support Parents choice in the education of their children.
We need more accountability where our school tax dollars are going.
We need to see if we can better allocate the money in our state so that rural schools are better funded.
Is our education system top heavy? Are there too many strings attached to the dollars? Our local school boards and districts need a bigger say in the allocation of our money and the content of our educational materials.
I support local control and I support our teachers and their need for a decent wage.
