Gutting public education

Every child deserves a free public education. Federal funds are needed to bridge the gap between state budgets and local funds. Charter schools aren't the answer for every student or community. Restore Title II and Keep Title I funds to held rural school systems.

Why is this important?

Cutting education has affected the small community where I serve as a school board member. We fight to keep as many dollars in the classroom as possible. Class size affects the effectiveness of a teacher. Right now Title II is gone and Title I has been re-assigned according to system size. Many large systems with plenty of tax revenue are getting more simply because of size.
