|
"The quality of our education system directly relates to the quality of the educator. The better educated and trained our staff and administration are, the better the education our children will receive. Real-world, work experience is an under utilized area of community collaboration. We should work with our local business and community members to develop intern programs and career-related work experiences for our students. I will ensure that every child is equipped with the tools they need to succeed." |
