School Curriculum

Wants to have licensed counselors in local schools.

Supports waiving school taxes for lower income senior citizens.

Supports investing in the community's future, saying "“If you’re able, you should pour into the future...if we don’t do it, who will?"

Believes the school system could be improved for all, referring Troup County Schools as a "cookie-cutter system...They want all kids to learn the same...It shows that in our test scores...regular kids are in the same class with special ed kids. It's hard for teachers to teach both sets of students...they're learning on two different wavelengths."
