Most students in our state and across the country are in public schools. We need to support teachers, students and staff in our public schools and give them respect. Teachers are professionals who warrant professional salaries.

How Eve will take action as a legislator:

• Eve will propose legislation to stop the voucher program in South Carolina.

• Eve will work to have a SRO (School Resource Officer) in every public school in South Carolina.

• Eve will propose that we have health and wellness curriculum for every level of school in our public school system.

• Eve will propose that there will be a social worker in every public school in South Carolina.

• Eve will propose that the state budget include monies for every public school district to have free breakfast and lunch for every child attending our public schools.

• Eve will propose that there be a zero tolerance policy for bullying in all public schools.

• Eve will set up an educational advisory committee in her district. This committee will be comprised of educators, staff, students and parents to discuss educational issues.

• Eve is opposed to the current bill that would require every public school to post the 10 Commandments in every classroom. She believes there is a separation of church and state in our country.
