By working together, we can create a supportive and effective education system. Fiscal Responsibility: A commitment to common sense also means managing our resources wisely. Bill believes in investing in education while also ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and effectively, maximizing the impact of every dollar on student success. Fundamental Aspects of Education: The What and The How: Putting students first means keeping educators focused on curriculum aligned to standards and teacher training.
