Issue Position

The parents and guardians of our state's future residents deserve a personal say about their child's education. We give high school students four (4) years to decide whether they are prepared to make a decision about their future. Vocational classes and college preparatory courses should come into our education department at an earlier age. Junior High or Middle School, grades 6 -- 8, aged students need the opportunity to find a course study that prepares them for high school into adulthood. We know our children. They know their likes, their dislikes, what areas they excel in and which ones they don't do well in. Four (4) years is not enough time for us to help them make a thorough and well adjusted decision that will effect the rest of their lives.

I want to be YOUR VOICE in Baton Rouge. We need to bring these classes in at an earlier age and give more say to our families in the education and futures of their children.
