Expand charter schools & provide parents with real choices

I believe we can do better, and I know I can make the system do better. As governor, I will strengthen and improve our education system and curb our drop-out rates. I will accomplish this by expanding charter schools, providing parents with real choices in how they educate their children and demanding accountability for performance. For students who are at risk of dropping out of high school, I will make sure there is an alternative route for them, whether it is the completion of a GED or the opportunity to learn marketable work skills so they can enter the workforce.
