Educating our children is the most important thing we as Montanans do, and this is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I believe that decisions that affect our children should be made locally, where those making the decisions have a vested interest and are immediately involved and accountable to those decisions. Decisions as important as what our children learn and when and how they learn it are decisions that should be made locally, by the parents of the kids whose lives are going to be affected.
