Issue Position: Improving Education

Issue Position

Funding education and paying teachers good wages is a necessary investment in our future. As an active volunteer and past PTA president at my children's elementary school, I have been witness to the dedication, long hours and deep commitment that teachers bring to our schools. They should be well-compensated for their hard work, but teacher salaries also need to increase to ensure we attract the best and brightest to the profession. Teachers inspire our children to be life-long learners and are responsible for educating the next generation to successfully manage our future. We need to maintain the strong funding that was intended under the changes the legislature made to address the McCleary Supreme Court ruling and ensure that those sweeping changes work or are changed if needed.
