I totally support charter schools and think we need not fewer of them. We need many more of them.

There are way too many families that don't have that choice and we continue to consign them in too many cases to schools that do not work for them.

My focus is and always will be on students and on helping all students get a great education through an equal opportunity.

Reading opens kids' minds and expands their world. Literacy is the foundation of learning and it's the starting point on the pathway to the American dream.
