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.
