Improving Our Schools

Education is the key to getting ahead in America. Quality public education equips each and every child with the tools they need to compete in today's competitive global economy. It's absolutely critical that we strengthen our system of public education to make sure that our children are prepared to succeed.

No Child Left Behind has left too many children behind. Don Wiviott has talked to teachers and administrators across New Mexico, it's clear that too many of our schools are burdened by unfunded mandates. In Washington, Don Wiviott will work with New Mexico's teachers, administrators, parents and students to radically reform No Child Left Behind to make sure that the right kind of accountability mechanisms are established.

Don Wiviott will also advocate for universal early childhood education. It's never too early to start preparing our children for the future and that's why we should give every child the opportunity to attend preschool.
