Every Florida student should have access to a first class, world class education. We must make certain that our children have the skills they need to compete in the global marketplace of the 21st century. No more excuses!
Improving Our Public Schools
Darrin McGillis has put forth a comprehensive plan to help improve the quality of our public schools.
Darrin's First Class Schools, First Class Teachers, First Class Education program focuses on spending our educational resources more efficiently, providing more educational options for students and parents and demanding more accountability from everyone involved in the education of our children.
By improving the quality of our public schools, we can provide our children with the skills they need to compete for quality jobs in the global marketplace of the 21st century and develop the highly skilled workforce that we need to recruit new businesses and jobs to Florida.
