Jonathan Swinton on Education

 

 


Reduce size of federal Dept. of Ed.; shift to local schools

Our children are the greatest future asset we have. Investing in them is key to their development and our future as a country. 74% of Utahns want us to provide more financial support to public education, yet, the Republican State legislature continues to balk at providing more support to our kids and teachers, and the Federal government provides insufficient support and is too involved in our schools. Here is how we can do it:
  1. Increase Education Funding Support From Federal Government: We need to shift the use of more Federal tax dollars toward supporting education.
  2. Let Local Educators Determine What To Do With Federal Dollars: The people that best know what is needed for our children is their teachers, schools, and districts.
