Quality public education is the key to our future

I passionately believe that quality public education is the key to our future: It must be available to all of our children from pre-k to high school, technical school and beyond. For too long South Carolina's educational system has been lagging. We are home to some of the best public schools and some of the nation's poorest performing schools. We need to accelerate the academic progress of our students, extend options for early learning, provide resources and assistance to our low performing schools, and invest in getting great teachers in every classroom. We need a cradle to career educational strategy.
