Local & parental control over schools, not federal
As a mother with three children enrolled in public schools, education is extremely important to me. American families want better quality education, lower education costs, and more local control over decisions related to education. In recent years the US
Department of Education has expanded the federal role in education to unprecedented levels. Utah--not the federal government--knows what is best for Utah's student. I trust Utah teachers & parents over Washington bureaucrats. These are my proposals to
address the problems surrounding education:- Return control of schools to local levels
- Support Utah's teachers by opposing one-size-fits-all federal programs that take flexibility away from innovative teachers
- Bring down the cost of college
tuition by allowing schools to compete for students and not allowing a federal government takeover of higher education
- Support the right of parents, local school districts, and the state of Utah to develop curriculum and set testing standards.

Love's proposed budget cuts would sap more than $100 million in federal funds to public education in Utah, including more than $38 million in special-education grants; nearly $21 million in grants to low-income Title I schools; and millions more for
other programs.Love has previously proposed disbanding the U.S. Department of Education and turning programs over to the states. How much would Mia Love's budget save?

End college assistance: $33.1 billion nationally; $471 million in Utah
- Cut Earned Income Tax Credit in half: $22.5 billion nationally; $207 million in Utah
