Paul LePage on Education

Supports vouchers, local control and charter schools

He will work for a voucher system that allows students and their parents to pick the school that work best for them. Paul will also fight for charter schools so students have an alternative to public education. Parents and locally elected school board members should have decision-making power over their students' curriculum. Instead of top-down mandates, Paul will empower local officials to develop responsible education plans. Source: 2010 Gubernatorial campaign website lepage2010.com , Nov 1, 2010
