Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Daryl believes that K-12 education should be left up to the towns and local boards of education to decide what is best for children. He supports, and will vote to, eliminate the U.S. Department of Education, and use block grants to the states instead. He is also an advocate for parental control in education decision making, supporting homeschool and charter school initiatives where they make sense. He opposes and seeks the elimination of the failed Common Core experiment and the use of standardized testing, such as PARCC, to measure a student's educational performance. Daryl also supports the emergence of new educational models that will foster great American progress as we head into the 2020's and beyond. He will champion initiatives that expand the availability of post-secondary vocational and technical education, address workforce imbalances, such as the current surplus of "middle-skill" jobs in New Jersey relative to applicants, and build relationships between high-growth potential industries and those institutions that will educate and train the future workforce.
