Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"Absolutely not. Clearly someone who is 300% below the poverty level could not afford the remaining tuition. Many private schools are not accountable. The cost is already $14 million. About 89% of NH students using the EFA program did not attend public schools. It is a family choice, a value-based decision to attend a private school, and should not demonize the public school system.As a retired Elemtary School teacher I support public schools."

Should New Hampshire ban discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in grades K-3?
"We should not micromanage education. It's a culture war. By removing books from school libraries that include themes of sexuality and gender it is a climate that has left many students and educators with a sense of whiplash. Restrictions can lead to incomplete and inaccurate lessons making students afraid to talk about themselves exacerbating mental health disparities that exist in the LGBTQ community, I am not aware of sex education being taught in K-3."

Should New Hampshire add a tax credit for businesses that contribute to student loan repayment for employees?
"Funding education has always been important to me. Education should be affordable, therefore a company that would pay back student loans would attract more talent. Think about all of the tax-deductible perks for executives. It is incredibly tax efficient with both the employer and the student getting a tax break. Student loans are complicated, and a company would benefit from a custom student loan plan."
