Every student deserves an education that prepares them for success. Minnesota students have fallen behind in reading and math. We need to refocus classroom learning and academic achievement while supporting the needs of teachers and parents.
My commitment includes:
-
Strong reading and math fundamentals
-
High academic expectations
-
Preparing students for future careers
How we get there:
-
Funds that are fair and flexible for each school district. Each School District facing it's own unique challenges therefore, funding should reflect their varying needs.
-
Increasing student outcomes in literacy and mathematics through research-based curriculum.
-
Enhanced academic rigor and accountability. Promotion of greater academic standards in the classroom focused on ensuring every student becomes college and career ready before graduation.
-
Mental health for every student through school resources such as counselors, and Education Support Professionals (ESP).
-
School Safety initiatives and funding to make sure every child feels safe in their learning environment.
