Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I support school funding at a level to ensure that every district has enough resources to provide an excellent education and a clean, safe learning environment for student, no matter where they live.

I support higher pay for teachers and fewer diversions of school revenue to economic development projects.

I support a statewide approach to curriculum that prepares most students for successful careers, including investing in community college and vocational training.

I support greater resources for UMSL and Harris Stowe University to develop them into the region's universities of choice for students and for employers.

I support charter schools, in conjunction with strong accountability standards set by the state.
