Brian Schweitzer on Education

Democratic MT Governor


Invest in K-12 by creating public-private partnerships

Education is the key to economic development, and I support investing in K-12 and higher education. We need to offer a competitive wage to attract and retain good teachers, and we need to hold schools and students accountable. I’ve proposed creating public-private partnerships with our 2 and 4-year institutions to lower the cost of college tuition.

Opposes parents choosing schools via vouchers

Brian does not support school vouchers. Brian wants Montana’s schools to be more than best in the country, we need to be best in the world. We need to create a logical, sequential system to evaluate new educational systems, not just throw more money at a problem.
