Very likely the Legislature is going to allow us to implement the Hathaway Scholarship Program, which is just an amazing opportunity. It will allow us to improve test scores and graduation rates. It's going to be an economic development tool as well.

It makes no sense to skip a whole year of students just because we couldn't act quickly enough.

We need to upgrade Wyoming's academic standards and reputation. The Hathaway scholarship has put us on a road to be the best and the first in education.
