Campaign website

Navarro’s campaign website stated the following:

Respect Parents

Engage parents in the education of our children, treat parents as partners, and support parent involvement. I want to help parents feel connected in the education of their children and be treated as partners by all school staff.


Expand School Choice

Support access to all families for high quality options. Support community leaders, parents and educational experts in growing the number and quality of school choice options across the state.


Teach Basic Skills

Teach students the basic skills they need to be independent, successful adults. Classroom time should be spent learning reading, writing, math, science and history. Classroom goals should be to have every student learn grade level skills every year.


Empower Teachers & Staff

I want to support giving staff the authority and flexibility to do their jobs, take away administrative tasks, let teachers teach, direct funds to classrooms, and improve disciplinary policies.[2]
