Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Dan knows that quality education for our kids helps provide them with more opportunities for success. Nebraska must focus on early childhood education to give every child, regardless of financial status, a chance to be successful. That's why Dan passed legislation giving cities more flexibility to prioritize helping early childhood education centers. Dan also knows we need to ensure that no matter what path a kid wants to follow, whether that be a 4-year university or skilled labor training, that our education system allows them to succeed in whatever field they choose.

With Nebraska ranking 49th in state aid of public schools, our local taxpayers feel the brunt of it. Dan will continue to fight for Grand Island to receive more state aid to reduce local property taxes so that we keep the quality of education that our children and grandchildren deserve, while also addressing the local tax burden.
