Karen Floyd Sees Education Reform Through Business View
Republican Karen Floyd argues her lack of teaching experience is a plus as she runs for state superintendent. She contends she would bring educators to partner with civic and business leaders to put the child above the system, focusing on efficient use of funds and reform rather than more money. Floyd asserts in-state support and denies out-of-state extremist funding and single-issue framing.
