As a parent, I understand and appreciate the concerns parents have about their children being exposed to age-inappropriate or objectionable materials in schools.

While I fully support education freedom allowing every child to be in the learning environment best for them, including innovative public charter schools, I cannot envision a future that does not include public schools.

The state will work together with stakeholders to ensure the SYSC is a safe, respectful environment for both staff and youth.

I have clearly said that I do not support raising the tolls.
