Office of Senator John Cornyn :: Education & Technology

A good education system helps strengthen our society by teaching and instructing young adults, giving them a strong foundation that will help them learn and succeed as citizens and individuals. Every child deserves the good start that is best achieved through a first-class education.

The public school system is the bedrock of our K-12 education efforts, and I support policies that strengthen it along with the entire education system.
I believe that all parents - regardless of race or socio-economic status - should have the opportunity to select a school that will better meet their children's needs and improve their future.
While federal funding can be used to improve the education system, we must not forget that local decisions and local control are the keys to improving our education system. We must allow local school boards greater flexibility to reduce regulation and use federal funds as they see fit, rather than mandating national standards and curricula.
Local schools need to be held accountable by testing for real results.
