2018 CT Governor's race: on Education


Catherine Templeton: School money & school control should be local

Education is local, but the state and federal government both hold a lot of the money. Let's get it to the kids. We need to make K-12 decisions in our school districts, not in Washington or Columbia. Let the teachers teach and let the principals lead. It makes sense, right? Let them do what they do best and support them every way we can.

Mark Lauretti: Get the government out of the classroom

Government can't solve a city's education underperformance issues. We need to get the government out of the classroom and let the teachers do their job. As a former school teacher myself, I've seen what it takes to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive. From qualified teachers and access to the right academic, arts and vocation programs -- it's critical that we fill the gaps to provide access to the programs that will help each student succeed.
