Issue Position: Education that Prepares Kids for Success

Issue Position

Provided record state funding to education -- every budget Rosemary has supported as our Representative included more state funding for education than the year before, while being mindful of the needed balance between taxing and spending.

Reformed the school funding formula through a bipartisan effort that makes certain all school districts are treated fairly and our local Monroe and Pike County schools receive back more of the money we send to Harrisburg.

Increase flexibility for schools and parents to give them a stronger voice in curriculum and much more.

Focus on fundamental skills in math, reading, science, and technology that children need to succeed instead of focusing so heavily on standardized tests.

Prepare children with the financial literacy skills they will need to live in the real-world.

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.
