Issue Position: Prioritize Education

Issue Position

Recently released standardized test scores paint a disappointing picture for our schools. I know that teachers, students, and families are working hard to ensure that our children have the best education possible. The General Assembly must support their efforts with a school funding formula that does not leave anyone behind; increased emphasis on social workers and mental health support to help kids thrive and learn; and resources for our teachers to focus on what they do best. Access to a strong education lays the foundation for a wide range of employment opportunities that will help keep our communities growing and thriving.
