Constitutional amendment on school funding
For| Read My Position

Project Vote Smart Survey, 2012

"A constitutional amendment is necessary for a long-term solution to this problem. In the meantime, a funding methodology was implemented that is predictable and clearly tied to the number of students in a district, eliminating donor towns. An education tax-credit program created scholarships to assist families seeking to attend non-public or out-of-district schools. Parents should be able to choose a school based on quality and their child's needs while not being limited by their home address."
