Bob Keenan on Education

Drastically cut back federal involvement in schools

Local control begins with parents and guardians and is delegated to local schools under state constitutional and statutory parameters. Federal involvement should be drastically cut back. Special Ed laws should be funded at the 40% level promised in IDEA. The U.S. Department of Education is a $90 billion monster that needs a performance audit and downsizing to say the least.
