Issue Position: Education

Education is the key to life's opportunities, escaping poverty, and having a well-equipped workforce to meet the needs of the global economy. Today, Delaware's public schools are failing to meet the needs of too many of our children. Colin believes that parents, teachers and principals should be empowered to reform our schools and set the agenda for our children. Top-down mandates, high stakes testing, and too much administration takes away from focusing on the needs of the children in our schools. Delaware can have world-class schools but it will take strong leadership to reform our schools, remove disruptive students from our classrooms, and allow our teachers to focus on the children in their classrooms. Too often the conversation about our schools focuses on the adults in the system and not the actual students, Colin will bring the focus back to the students in our classrooms.
