FIXING EDUCATION

I firmly believe in expanding school choice options to provide families with diverse educational opportunities. Empowering parents to choose the best educational fit for their children promotes competition and fosters innovation within the education system.

Open enrollment policies allow students to attend schools outside their district boundaries, fostering healthy competition among schools and encouraging innovation to meet students’ needs. This approach empowers families to select schools that align with their values and educational priorities.

School choice and open enrollment policies introduce healthy competition into the public education system. When schools compete for students, they strive to enhance academic programs, improve services, and raise student outcomes, ultimately benefiting all students, regardless of where they attend school.

Contrary to misconceptions, school choice and open enrollment can lead to more per-pupil funding for public schools. When students choose alternative educational options, funding follows the student, incentivizing schools to attract and retain students by improving educational quality and efficiency.

Strengthening public schools is a top priority. School choice and open enrollment can serve as catalysts for improvement by holding schools accountable for performance, encouraging innovation, and empowering families to advocate for their children’s education.

A four-year college degree isn’t the answer for every High School graduate. Vocational training equips students with the practical skills, knowledge, and certifications needed to enter high-demand fields such as healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, and skilled trades. By offering hands-on learning experiences and industry-aligned curriculum, we empower students to pursue rewarding careers and thrive in the workforce.
