Education

By Francine P Busby

Candidate for United States Representative; District 50; Democratic Party

This information is provided by the candidate
Education, ingenuity, and perseverance are all parts of the American dream. A college degree is an increasingly critical milestone on the road to personal independence, career success and our nation's ability to compete in a global marketplace. The public economic costs of under-education include decreases in tax revenue due to stunted economic growth, and increased costs for public social programs. Francine Busby will work to make "No Child Left Behind" more productive and less punitive. She will fight for America's future leaders from preschool through college by working to expand Head Start preschool; provide incentives to attract and retain highly-skilled teachers; and make college more accessible and affordable by decreasing the cost of college loans and increasing access to Pell grants.
