Winburn on Education

The results of every political poll I have ever conducted show the citizens of Cincinnati believe that city council members should have strategic influence on the school system. City council provides millions of dollars each year to Cincinnati's public schools system for supplemental services. The money that city council provides each year is a way to hold board members accountable with view toward promoting academic achievement and increasing high school graduation rates.

If elected, I will use my city council office to collaborate and partner with school board leadership. I believe our schools need to shift their goals to teach the basics of reading, writing, math and science. The school system is spending too much time on developing new facilities when it should be focusing on developing our student’s young minds. I am all for providing our children with the best learning facilities possible, but we need to keep in mind that the emphasis is on providing a quality education.
