Issue Position: Opportunity Through Education

Issue Position

Opportunity Through Education. Raised to value education, Morgan helped put himself through college by working odd jobs and earning an academic scholarship to SMU. He graduated Cum Laude and then attended Washington and Lee School of Law. As our state representative, Morgan will make education a top priority, working to:

Raise the standards for our public schools, because education is the key to economic opportunity
Provide for local control and support compensation structures for teachers that reward performance, not seniority
Promote policies that encourage real learning instead of "teaching to the test"
Continue reforming Robin Hood, which saves DISD and HPISD taxpayers millions, while maintaining or increasing levels of education funding
Work to revise the 10% rule that prevents deserving students from being able to attend our top state schools
Lead for cutting edge technology in our classrooms that will better prepare our students to compete in a global marketplace
