The school is the last expenditure upon which Americans should be willing to economize. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
Operating a public school system is expensive – and it should be expensive. Our schools shape the future; our schools are training the next generation to continue the American dream.
The most important resource in education are the teachers in the classrooms – they must be the best! Teacher training and stability is essential. We must continue to invest in the best teachers to create rich opportunities for students.
We must continue to analyze and evaluate our spending practices; we must be responsible stewards for taxpayer dollars. We can’t cut corners and economize on what matters most.
