Candidate's Comments:
On #10: I oppose the use of public funding for anything other than public schools. On #12: I oppose this when the child’s health or well-being are at risk if the parent finds out their child is receiving mental, physical, or emotional health support at school. I do support parents having access to their child’s records so the parent can be proactive in their child’s care and well-being when not at school, when the child is not at risk of parental physical, mental, or emotional abuse. On #13: Parents are already given a syllabus at the beginning of the school year and have to sign permission forms to allow their child to participate in extra-curricular activities and special presentations. Adding more restrictions on teachers through the guise of parent access and control is disruptive to the learning experience for other students and negatively impacts education for the entire classroom. If parents object to material being taught, they can either enroll their child in a private school that is more in line with their belief system, or home school. Those are options. But creating an environment where a teacher with 15-20 students now has 15-20+ sets of parents determining what materials which students can learn only undermines the public school education system and creates unnecessary burdens on the education staff.
