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?
"I fully support our public schools as they are the foundation of our education system. Talking to many parents who are frustrated with their child's experience in the public schools, I also support providing them an opportunity to utilize their tax dollars in order to maximize their child's potential with Education Freedom Accounts. I do not believe that the two options are mutually exclusive."
