Association of DC Charter Schools Questionnaire
STATEMENT ON DC CHARTER SCHOOLSMany charter schools offer innovative ideas and programs. I want to
take the best characteristics of charter schools and apply them
system-wide, including small class sizes and lower teacher-student ratios. I
will fight for the continued viability of public education by improving
public schools, rather than systematically denying them resources.
Public schools have been waiting in line too long for upgrades in physical
structure and programs which should not be delayed in favor of newly
created schools. I will fight for a funding formula which allows every
public school to maintain and upgrade vital programs such as science,
music, art, physical education, and libraries so that they can excite the
creativity in children to be all they can be. DC voters, not those who
lobby Congress to impose its will on voters, should govern public
education in DC. --Association of DC Charter Schools Questionnaire
