Bipartisan school-finance bills put students over systems
I’m proud of these bipartisan policies that will help hold our government more accountable.

By funding individual students instead of systems, and by leveraging data-driven insights, my fellow policymakers and I can work to ensure resources are allocated efficiently, and that there are real feedback loops between businesses and our education system to strengthen our workforce and promote student success.
