Issues & Legislation
  Issue - Education

 
We need a major shift in education policy, especially from the federal level. My guiding principles are: first, restore local and parental control, with high standards; second, establish measurable goals with strict accountability; and third, restore discipline to the classroom and respect for teachers. And by valuing teachers as professionals with a call to public service, we can recruit – and keep – the best and brightest minds to teach. Improving teacher pay and increasing the teacher tax deduction to help defray out-of-pocket classroom expenses will help retain our teachers. We also need to invest more money and resources in our community colleges. North Carolina’s community colleges enable many adults to acquire the skills that employers need, helping workers who have lost their jobs move into growing fields, such as health care and technology. I will work to provide flexible federal grants that make continuing education possible and affordable, and I will continue to fight for increased funding for community colleges to help our workers reach the broader goals of economic opportunity and security.
Senator Dole presents a $1 million Economic Development grant to Nash Community College.
