Issue Position: Investing in Our Schools

Issue Position

As a mother of four, two of which face mental health challenges, Elizabeth knows the struggle parents face when ensuring that their children are getting a quality education - particularly for those that need additional mental health or disability services. As Delegate for the 31st district, Elizabeth will work to expand funding and opportunities for early childhood education, and will collaborate to foster strategic partnerships with organizations to bring in more programs like Head Start and Early Head Start to the community.

Elizabeth is also committed to working to restore funding for public schools, and to find funding and innovative solutions to deal with the challenge of growing class sizes, high teacher turnover rates, and teacher pay. She strongly supports State Senator Jeremy McPike's initiative to end the stringent SOL requirements the Commonwealth is putting on our students in the public schools.
