California Public Schools.

By Donald Thompson

Our schools are rated near the bottom nationwide.

If elected to the legislature I will work hard to make our schools among the best in the nation. We need more high quality teachers, better administrators, and in order to attract them we must pay them a wage that is comparable to other professions. We must give those who are interested in entering the teaching profession special incentives to motivate them to pursue a career in teaching.

I believe the above can be done witholut raising taxes but cutting other state programs that are not important as the training of our children can help raise necessary funds. After all, how valuable are our children? They are very valuable!
