Arizona is a national leader in school choice with both charter schools and tuition tax credits giving parents and their children more school choices than ever before.

Arizona has three of the top 10 public high schools in the nation. We know how to educate a child. We just need to do it more often in more locations, and where we're having issues are in low-income areas where - where kids don't have a parent that cares or two parents that care, and, of course, also in our tribal nations.

Arizona has excellent medical schools, both public and private, and it is critical that we create an environment that keeps medical students in Arizona to practice medicine once they complete medical school and their residency programs.

For too long, we financed our schools in a way that has systematically left large segments of our population behind.

Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included.

Many more schools can be outstanding.

As you look around the country there are still a significant number of states where their whole school debate is over school funding and we've been focused on the quality debate for most of the '90s.

Very few charter schools are being created in some of the best school districts in the state. If you're an educational innovator, that isn't where the greatest need is.

We have built tens of thousands of schools, clinics and rural roads.

Money buys the most experienced teachers, less-crowded classrooms, high-quality teaching materials, and after-school programs.
