Improve schools with standards and accountability

I support setting high standards for all students, teachers and schools. I'm committed to providing real incentives and giving them the tools and resources to meet them, and then holding them accountable. Source: Campaign website, www.WaltersForSenate.com, "Issues" Sep 17, 2002

Increase resources for public schools

We must ensure that Oklahoma's public schools provide students with the best education in the world and give our kids the skills they need to make it. Our schools need qualified, well-trained teachers in smaller classes. Our schools need expanded access Source: Campaign website, www.WaltersForSenate.com, "Issues" Sep 17, 2002
