A good education is the key to economic security. Dr. Cassidy is working to achieve common sense education reforms to ensure people of all ages receive the quality education they need to succeed. As a parent of three school age children, Dr. Cassidy strongly believes that parents and teachers, not federal bureaucrats, will make the best education decisions for students.  High standards yield high achievement, and parents should have a right to choose the best educational opportunities for their children, including homeschooling, private and parochial schools, charter schools, or public schools.
