Susan Parker on Education

More federal funding for public schools; smaller classes

A quality education provides our children with the tools necessary to succeed in the workplace and have a better quality of life. I will make education a top priority and work hard to improve public schools in Alabama and the rest of the nation. I will support the reduction of classroom sizes, the hiring of more qualified teachers, the aid to rebuild and modernize public schools, and I will work hard everyday to ensure that Alabama's public schools get the federal funding they need.
