Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I want to see most of our education dollars spent in the classroom with extra effort placed on helping students learn to read at a very early age.

So sad to see young people not given the one tool they need to increase their chances for success: the ability to read. That one ability opens up the world of knowledge and understanding and leads to a more rewarding life.

When this is the focus, our state benefits from new business ventures, more rewarding career opportunities for our graduates, safer communities, and reduced prison costs.

Finally, talented teachers should be given incentives to remain in the classrooms where their skills inspire student success.

Education vision
My vision for the future of education is as follows:
Delaware will lead the nation in improvements in education. Standardized testing will end and the money that once went to fund the testing will instead be earmarked for classrooms. Results will be measured by how many graduates find purpose in life and meaningful employment.
