Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Every child in Delaware deserves a high-quality education. A strong public education system is an engine of democracy, and builds the foundation for community and economic strength. As a "97 graduate of A.I. DuPont High School and the mother of a high schooler in a Red Clay charter school, Tizzy has seen firsthand the challenges facing public education, and is determined to address systemic issues such as trauma, lack of adequate health support services, re-segregation, discrimination and exclusion as they affect students and the community context from which they come. She supports:

Policies that ensure every student, particularly those with the highest needs, have the stability and supports to succeed
A comprehensive approach to education: academic achievement is key, but schools also have a crucial role to play in developing healthy and engaged citizens
Funding the arts and arts education, both in schools and communities at large
