People live here for our public schools. We need state dollars to actually fund them and to stop funding political experiments for private schools. When the state doesn't provide full funding to the Lindbergh, Rockwood, Kirkwood and Affton districts, our local communities pick up the burden, placing it on seniors and working families.
Securing full state education funding for our district. I'd fight to increase K-12 appropriations in the budget and block every voucher and charter expansion bill that comes up. The state needs to meet its funding obligations so our schools aren't forced to raise property taxes on seniors and working families. We must fund our public schools, not political experiments.
