| Governor Nikki Haley's State of the State Address
PROPOSALS
Governance
-- Allow the voters to decide if future governors will appoint other cabinet heads like the Superintendent of Education. It is crucial that the Superintendent and Governor partner in priorities, spending, graduation rates, and the workforce we produce. Education is almost 40 percent of our budget – how can we justify having those dollars flow through a completely isolated part of government?
Finance
-- Start with the funding formula. We need to educate our children not based on where they happen to be born and raised, but
on the fact that they deserve a good, quality education, and they are our future workforce.
Privatization
-- Privatize our school bus system. We are one of the last states in the nation to do so, and our government just doesn't need to be in the school bus maintenance business. Making this change would deliver our state a check for our old buses. It would deliver our children a new fleet of buses. It would keep our school bus drivers employed while transferring our mechanics to the private sector. And it would put the focus of our Education Department where it needs to be: teaching our kids.
