Issue Position: Education That Prepares Kids for Success

Issue Position

"Maintaining a strong education system is -- and always will be -- one of my top priorities. A strong education system prepares our children for the future, helps attract the jobs our families need to our area, and even helps maintain strong property values in our community."

Provide fair funding to our schools by focusing the budget on education, passing a reasonable severance tax dedicated 100% to schools, and utilizing the new bi-partisan education funding formula that is fairer to Bucks County school districts
Focus on fundamental skills in math, reading, science, and technology that children need to succeed instead of focusing so heavily on tests
Utilize technology to enhance student learning and provide greater access to tutoring, AP courses, courses not available at local schools, online learning, SAT prep, etc.
Support vocational and skills-based education that provides needed skills (at a lower cost) to obtain good-paying jobs that provide for lifelong success
