Issue Position: Fighting For Our Local Schools

Issue Position

David Silvers understands the importance of a strong education system. As a product of public education, David accredits much of his professional success to his strong education background. He wants to ensure our children are provided with the same opportunities he had so that they may reach their career goals. David intends to:

Fight for more funding for our local public schools to ensure that all of our students' needs are met
Provide support in order to keep and recruit the best teachers; David will strive to raise teacher's pay to at least the national average
Oppose high-stakes testing so that the goal of teaching is to better inform and educate our children instead of merely teaching to the test
Ensure funding for Bright Futures Scholarships is maintained and support Prepaid Programs to make college more affordable for all
Advocate on behalf of vocational education programs for kids who aren't ready or do not choose to attend college. Good paying jobs are waiting for skilled workers
