Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Education will be one of my top priorities at the capitol. Ensuring our future generations are educated at the highest possible standard is something we must always demand. We should strive to have the best schools in the nation. To do this, we must focus on strategic investments, competition, technology, and innovation within our school systems. We should always be looking at new ways to prepare our students for the 21st century economy they will soon enter. For example, one of the programs I have become familiar with during my time at the University of Northern Iowa, is the Cedar Valley CAPS program. A program that introduces students to the workforce while in high school (Check out their video here: https://cedarfallscaps.yourcapsnetwork.org/). We must always value and ensure we are putting forward policy that benefits not only our students, but our wonderful teachers. Without quality educators, there is not education.
