Education
 
As a former school teacher, I am very familiar with the challenges in our classrooms. You will be pleased to know that I support increased flexibility in parent choice, coupled with greater accountability in our school system.  I believe our local school boards, not the federal government, are better equipped to assess the needs and the future of our schools and our students.

Education for American children is one of my top priorities.  There is no question that education is the key not only to individual opportunity, but also to our competitiveness as a nation.  The government’s role should be to encourage families to get the best quality education for their children; however, the government should not make the decisions parents should be making for their children.

I have consistently supported our teachers, who have one of the most important jobs in our nation.  I am committed to having safe schools, well educated teachers, and children who are well prepared to be the leaders of tomorrow.
