Texas must focus on improving student outcomes by:
- Allowing public school teachers to be paid according to merit
- Allowing parents to send their child to a school of their choice, regardless of where they live, using state tax dollars that have been allocated to pay for their child’s education
- Making sure education dollars flow into the classroom rather than the bureaucracy like superintendent salaries and benefits
- Increasing educational options because schools respond to competition by improving the curriculum, introducing new and popular programs, and incentivizing high- performing teachers
