Decisions are best made by local teachers & parents

As a teacher and grandmother of ten, there is no one more committed to education than Sharron Angle. Sharron believes education decisions are best made at the state and local level by parents and teachers who are invested in the lives of the children whom they have been tasked with teaching. Sharron supports putting that money as close to the state and local level as possible.
