Sheri Few's Platform for Fundamental Change

---

As State Superintendent, Sheri Few pledges, to restore parental authority to education, deliver taxpayer accountability for education spending and work to improve educational attainment by students, supporting teachers as professionals.  

RESTORING PARENTAL AUTHORITY 

Parents across the country are pushing back on local school districts’ policies and practices that contradict their values and beliefs. Top issues include: 

• Eliminating Critical Race Theory
• Ending and preventing mask and vaccine mandates 
• Ending the sexualization of children
• Restoring the rights of biologically female students in sports 
• Restoring patriotism and promoting unity
• Advocating for true School Choice  

Superintendent Few will operate under the commitment that parents are the first and best educator of their children. State policy must respect a parents’ right to direct the education and care of their children and prevent school districts from overstepping their authority.  

DELIVERING TAXPAYER ACCOUNTABILITY 

Over the last 50 years, spending on education has skyrocketed while the actual education attainment of South Carolina children has declined.  Our state’s ability to be accountable to taxpayers has been undermined by federal intrusion, which Superintendent Few will strive to reverse.  Top initiatives include:  

• Clarifying the regulatory cost and burden of federal education funds 
• Advocating for the gradual elimination of federal intrusion   

IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, SUPPORTING THE TEACHING PROFESSION 

South Carolina children and teachers have been subjected to faulty and even harmful standards for more than ten years. Proven best education practices must be restored. To address recruitment and retention of good teachers, Sheri Few will attend to the needs of the education professional. 

• Restoring SC freedom to select the best standards and assessments and ending Common Core
• Advocating for the return of proven best educational practices like classical education
• Ensuring teacher training, certification and proficiency requirements are streamlined and effective
