Issue Position: Education That Prepares Kids for Success

Issue Position

*Increase educational choice and competition to give students and parents more opportunity for educational achievement

*Take special interests out of our schools through teacher tenure reform, opening administration positions to non-teachers, and creating a merit pay structure

*Focus on fundamental skills in math, reading, science, and technology that children need to succeed -- no more teaching to tests and no more Common Core

*Reform the school funding formula to make certain that all school districts are treated fairly

*Utilize technology to enhance student learning and provide greater access to tutoring, AP courses, courses not available at local schools, online learning, SAT prep, etc.

*Support vocational and skills-based education that provides needed skills (at a lower cost) to obtain good-paying jobs that provide for lifelong success
