I am writing in support of U.S. Sen. Angus King’s positions on supporting quality public education for all students.
As a speech pathologist who has spent most of my career working with preschool and school-aged students with disabilities in public schools, I have witnessed first hand the significant gains students can make with high quality education.
Senator King consistently supported high-quality public education when he was governor of Maine and does now as our Senator from Maine. Senator King has a comprehensive understanding of the need for high-quality public education for all students. He supports on-going teacher training, Title I services for at-risk students, funding for after school and summer school programming for at-risk students and quality special education for all students with disabilities.
Our children are the future for Maine and they deserve a Senator who will strongly advocate for quality public education for all students. I hope you will join me in voting to re-elect Sen. King on November 6.
