“Growing up going to public school, I know the tremendous, positive impact schools have in our communities. I worked my way through college with minimum-wage jobs and had to max out on student loans to make it happen, but my education opened doors for me.

Katy’s plan for Education:
- Ensure funding for classrooms and great teachers
- Implement a reasonable, meaningful approach to assessment and accountability
- Expand education opportunities that prepare students for their own chosen paths – whether that be career training, technical education or college
- Get politicians out of education and return control to the people who know how to educate kids – schools, teachers and families

- Provide access to solid careers by expanding career training and technical education opportunities to students of all ages
- Investing in
