Issue Position: Protecting Our Rural Schools

Issue Position

A former Canadian ISD School Board President and current Chairman of the House Public Education Subcommittee on Teacher Quality, Ken is widely considered to be one of Texas' top education leaders -- working to properly fund our local schools, provide the best classroom resources, take care of our current and retired teachers, and ensure our kids receive a quality education. Ken believes we must level the playing field for our small, rural schools--that's why he led the effort to provide property tax relief by getting more state assistance for them. And he showed his commitment to Texas students by providing an additional $1.5 billion in education funding.
