Issue Position: Improving Education By Putting Students First

Issue Position

* As a father, I know that educational decisions are best in the hands of parents, their teachers, and school leaders. For too long, bureaucrats at the Department of Education have directed how our education dollars are spent and what our children learn through top-down mandates like Common Core. I believe that states should be allowed to direct education dollars to meet their own most pressing needs.

* Children from underperforming schools should be able to carry federal funding with them to the school that best meets their needs. Our children deserve more public and private education opportunities. This will boost accountability in schools around our country.
