Issue Position

Our education system has been bullied by the politicians in Boise for too long. Idaho ranks 50th in the nation in the amount of money we invest per student. As a result, class sizes are rising, many quality teachers are leaving the state, and fewer students are going on to college. We are currently 47th in the nation for the number of high school graduates continuing to college--a statistic that could prove disastrous for our economy. A quality public education system is the key to success for our students and our communities. Idahoans understand that our kids must be our number one priority. It's time for state leaders who understand what's at stake and who are willing to act.
