Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

"The legislature shall make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state. No tuition shall be charged for attendance at any public school to pupils required by law to attend such school, except such fees or supplemental charges as may be authorized by law. The legislature may authorize the state board of regents to establish tuition, fees and charges at institutions under its supervision". This is our current law.

We have no greater asset than our children and no greater responsibility than to educate our children. We must insure that parents are in charge of their children's education. We must make available alternatives to the current funding arrangement. As the education systems become more competitive for the alternate funding, we will see school systems become more efficient and the children will receive a better education with improved outcomes.
