Improving public education by putting students first
As a parent of two public-school educated children and being married to a public schoolteacher, I understand we need to support our teachers and improve our public schools. I believe students learn best when parents are empowered, innovation is welcomed and when we have spending accountability in our schools to make sure tax dollars need to go to the classroom. As your State Senator, I will support the concept of merit pay to reward good teachers and make it easier to remove bad teachers.
