Education must keep pace with our evolving economy
Just like economic development dominated this year’s legislative session, I aim for education to take the stage prominently during next year’s session. The Legislature worked tirelessly to pass bills that improve the business climate and create jobs. Now, it’s time we make bold changes to our education system to make sure it stays up to pace with our evolving economy.
My Education Works agenda was created in collaboration with education leaders, teachers and researchers and sets a clear path to success. With a focus on key areas like literacy, teacher effectiveness, early childhood preparation, college and career readiness, and school choice, this agenda will invigorate our public education system so our children graduate from high school ready to make the most of the opportunities that follow.
