Issue Position

PUBLIC EDUCATION
Funding K-12 education is the best investment the Commonwealth can make. The State must honor its partnership with local governments in this important area. As our communities grow, so do classroom sizes. Senator Favola serves on the Joint Committee to Study the Future of Public Elementary and Secondary Education in the Commonwealth. In this role, she is working to reduce the number of SOLs and to grant school districts the flexibility to create more relevant ways to measure academic progress. Senator Favola will work to provide adequate State funding to support a low teacher-student ratio and improve teacher pay.
