Education excellence

Funded schools, supported teachers, and opportunity for every child.

A teacher and students in a bright classroom

. The challenge

Every zip code deserves a great school

Teachers buy their own supplies, buildings crumble, and college debt delays adulthood for a generation. Marlowe's plan funds the classroom first — modern buildings, respected teachers, and paths to college or a trade that don't require a lifetime of debt.

What the plan delivers

Modern classrooms

Renovate 60 aging schools, upgrade labs and tech, and guarantee high-speed internet in every classroom.

Respect and retain teachers

A $10,000 average raise, student-loan relief for educators, and funded classroom supplies — no more out-of-pocket teaching.

Universal pre-K and tutoring

Free pre-K for every 4-year-old and high-dosage tutoring in reading and math for grades K–8.

Affordable college and trades

Two years of free community college or trade school, plus Pell Grant expansion for four-year degrees.
