A message from Rory Reid (on his website)...
"For more than a year I’ve been listening to Nevadans of all stripes and political persuasions to hear about the challenges we all face. In each and every conversation, there has been a common thread: Renewing our commitment to education is the only way we will attract new jobs and rebuild our economy.
As your governor, I will stand up to anyone who shortchanges education. I’ll stand up to anyone who refuses to reform and strengthen our schools. I will never give up on our kids or their potential. I will never give up on our schools or Nevada’s future.
On education, I will not compromise.
That’s why I’m introducing my EDGE plan. It is designed to transform education in our state from top to bottom, put an unwavering focus on reforming our schools, and push Nevada schools to the leading edge of quality education practices in America.
My EDGE plan outlines an entirely new approach to education in our state – from the top of state government down to every individual classroom and student desk.
- It finally gives freedom and responsibility directly to the schools.
- It finally ensures standardized test scores aren’t the only measure of success.
- It finally outlines steps to ensure world-class teachers lead every Nevada classroom.
- It finally gives parents the power to chose the school that is right for their child.
- It finally ends classroom micromanagement by Carson City.
There is nothing more important to me than tackling our challenges in education.
Every other candidate for governor is proposing even more cuts to education and schools. And that tells us something important: Candidates who run on cutting education aren’t committed to our kids, they don’t understand what’s best for Nevada’s economy, and they’ll never have the courage to fundamentally reform and strengthen Nevada’s schools.
As a father, I know that when your child is struggling in school it becomes everything you think about. You can't help but take it personally. We need a governor who takes the success of every child in Nevada personally. As your governor, I will.
If you are ready to put Nevada on the leading edge of education reform, see every child in Nevada succeed, and rebuild our economy from the ground up, stand with me in this campaign. Together, we can build the schools we need for our kids and our state.
Sincerely,
Rory Reid"
