Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

we must fully fund our schools. We can not continue to balance our sate budget on the backs of children and teachers.

The past five state superintendents of public schools have been dismal failures. Some have been an embarrassment to our sate. We must not entrust our children's future to elected amateurs. We must appoint qualified individuals that are above party politics and should we find a great one, keep them for longer than four to eight years.

School district superintendents should not have to have degrees in teaching or education. They can hire enough PHD's to fill every assistant's position three times over. What we really need in a District Superintendent is someone who can take a dollar and stretch it into a dollar twenty five cents not someone who can shrink it into seventy five cents. Business managers can ensure our school budgets and funding will get us the results we need from our taxes.
