It is critical that we continue to invest in our education system to ensure that our children have the best education possible and that we are also providing an attractive workforce for our business community. As a product of Maryland's public schools and the daughter of a public school teacher, our public schools will be one of my highest priorities. We must also provide educational development opportunities for our teachers, ensure that our children aren't trying to learn in an over-crowded environment and ensure our schools and children are equipped for this digital era. Our local colleges must remain strong in this regard and all our educational facilities must provide safe and worry free environments for students and staff.
