Our teachers and building administrators are smart, capable people. Let s give them more control over their most powerful management tool their budgets with less regulation from the state. Let s let our educators do their jobs with less restrictions from the state. We ve raised teachers salaries to ensure that we attract and retain the brightest teachers. And that s great.
