Issue Position: Local Control

Issue Position

Ronald Reagan once stated, "…[E]ducation is the bulwark of freedom, but removed too far from the control of parents and local government, it can become a tool of tyranny." Our schools need to be community schools, responsive to local conditions and input from parents and stakeholders. Set the target; don't micromanage the means. I have been in large urban and suburban campuses and rural schools. Top-down, big-government, one-size-fits-all solutions are usually not solutions at all.
