Issue Position: Enhance & Improve Texas Education System

Issue Position

Educational opportunity is very important, and I strongly support our public education system. I'm a product of public schools here in the Metroplex and had the opportunity to earn and an academic/athletic scholarship to college. Children of all walks of life, all neighborhoods, and all backgrounds should have an opportunity to have a quality education, and we owe it to those kids to have the most efficient schools possible.

When considering funding requests for education, we must ask tough questions about how our current resources are being spent. Teacher pay should not suffer because of too much education bureaucracy. I'll fight for transparency and accountability, and also for school choice. We must foster a system that encourages -- and fully welcomes -- the highest level of parental involvement in their child's education.
