On Education: Give option of escaping failing schools

As governor, she'll work to hold schools more accountable for the success of their students and she'll see that more dollars make their way into the classroom.
She'll push for higher academic standards, because low expectations lead to low levels of achievement.

Mary will work to give students and families the option of escaping failing schools and she'll work to implement financial incentives for excellence in teachers. Source: 2010 gubernatorial campaign website, maryfallin.org,"Issues" Nov 1, 2010

On Education: Oppose Question 744: no $850M mandated spending

I do not support State Question 744. This measure mandates a spending increase of about $850 million without providing any funding source or any reforms to make sure the money is spent responsibly and effectively. It would force the legislature to pursue either massive tax increases or massive budget cuts, and it would do that at the worst possible time: in the middle of a recession. As public policy, it is irresponsible. Source: 2010 gubernatorial campaign website, maryfallin.org,"Issues" Nov 1, 2010
