Issue Position: Local Schools

Issue Position

Linda Holmes knows that encouraging schools to utilize fresh, local produce improves the health of students and creates local economic activity. She sponsored a bill that creates a farm-to-school database to facilitate the purchase of fresh produce and food products of schools and encourages school districts to buy locally-grown products.

Senator Holmes has worked hard to improve education and supported important legislation, like Senate Bill 7, to become a law. This law reforms teacher hiring and tenure practices in order to ensure that good teachers stay in our classrooms and that they are not unfairly fired.
