Issue Position: Improve Education

Issue Position

Standard talking points always focus on two variables: more funding or less funding. What's really needed is a paradigm shift. Quality of education will improve by devoting greater attention to how our current education funds are used. In business terms, we need a better return on investment from every dollar spent. Let's explore new solutions like shared athletic stadiums and performing arts centers which significantly reduce the cost for new facilities. Allow the savings to be used for other needs like hiring more teachers. Innovative on-line courses are changing the education landscape and can multiply the efforts of our talented educators. Anyone can throw money at a problem, but only innovative leaders can improve outcomes using existing resources.
