Today, as I work on education policy in the United States Senate, I know what’s at stake for our children and our future. I’m committed to giving our students the resources and support they need to succeed.
My Education Principles
- Invest in what works. Things like smaller classes, qualified teachers, and pre-school programs.
- Protect disadvantaged students. Make sure they get the extra help and support they need.
- Keep taxpayer dollars in public schools which serve all students.
- Give local schools, educators and parents the federal funding and support they need to educate our children.
- Set high standards and provide the resources so all students can meet them. It’s not enough to just set goals. We need to give schools the resources they need to meet those goals.
Whether you’re looking for information on the No Child Left Behind Act, the latest funding information, information on IDEA, or my education priorities for the 109th Congress, you’ll find it here.
Thank you for your interest in supporting first-rate educational opportunities for all children.
Sincerely,
