	Shenna Bellows on Education

Voucher programs siphon public school money

Supporting Public Education: I wouldn't be in this race if not for the good public education I received. Fully funding our schools, building new ones where they're needed, and hiring more teachers will mean more opportunities for students to succeed no matter where they live or how much money their family earns. I oppose voucher programs that siphon public money to private or religious institutions that don't level the playing field and often exclude the students who most need a chance at a young age. I also oppose the overly onerous new testing requirements mandated by the federal government. No Child Left Behind, supported by Republican Susan Collins, was a huge mistake. It's time to invest in education at the local level again. Public schools helped build the intellectual foundation of this country, and they need to be supported.
