Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Agree
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Disagree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Neutral
School districts should be able to use taxpayer money for lobbying the state legislature.
Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
That is what we pay taxes for

At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Agree
School districts should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Neutral
This is a poorly worded question. The district should not engage in business with another business that practices discriminatory behaviors. But the district must. It discriminate against individuals views within its own community.

Teachers, administrators, and school board.

What does "equity in education" mean to you?

The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.

Parents are the ultimate authority in their child’s education and should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child.

All taxpayers pay in order to invest in the education of all children to receive a well-rounded education in order to contribute to society.
School boards are accountable to parents and taxpayers.
