Make Our Schools
A Priority by:
Keeping our veteran teachers from leaving the classroom.
Making sure students get the individualized attention they need.
Ensuring a well-rounded education for all students.
Keeping our classrooms up-to-date.
Giving our teachers more time to teach and students more time to learn.
This can be accomplished by:
Allow county School Boards to levy the max under Capital Outlay and direct any "new" revenue to go to the General Operating Budget WITHOUT a local referendum.
Eliminate many of the tax exemptions that make little or no economic sense to the average citizen. Get rid of special interest tax exemptions.
Pass an additional 1 cent sales tax for education to sunset in 3 years.
