Education

Despite our hard work, today’s public school system is failing our youth.

If we want to keep our neighborhoods vibrant, lessen the gulf between rich and poor, and make our citizens competitive in the global economy, we must have an education system for the 21st century.

I am committed to making our public education system work for every child and will fight for meaningful reform to:

• Make our public education system work for every child, with particular attention to those children most at-risk;
• Invest in K-12, and provide access to preschool and all-day kindergarten for all children;
• Protect higher education funding and expand programs to make higher education financially accessible to all Coloradans; and
• Hire, support and reward great teachers, child advocates and principals.
