Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

A strong, well-funded public education system is very important to all Montanans and will assist us in the long-term growth of our economy. Education needs to be locally controlled and allow for parents to educate their children in a public, private or home school. A strong natural resource economy will provide additional tax revenue that can be used to support our school systems along with reducing local property tax burdens and keeping quality teachers from leaving Montana to seek employment in neighboring states.
