Kim Burningham Quotations

What's most important, having a great professional (like) team or everyone having the best experience?

I am by principle concerned that our country's future will be jeopardized because such an education scheme will further divide the country.

The recent Florida Supreme Court ruling indicates serious constitutional questions if the Legislature adopts a program where the state even indirectly supports a second private educational system.

I do not believe that faith-based issues should be covered in the public curriculum.
