增加就业机会

积极创造好的投资环境，吸引高科技企业来乔治亚州

提高基础教育实用性，改革高等教育体系，向企业提供高技能的专业人才

医疗保健

基础教育

把测试管理交给当地教育机构，而不是政府

鼓励Charter School System， 给学校更多的发展空间和自由度，关注教育质量

税收改革 $100 million 减税计划

Casey在任职副州长的期间，做出的以下示例， 可供选民参考

In 2007, Casey introduced the concept of Charter Systems – entire school districts with total freedom and flexibility – to establish a complete system of choice for students and families. Using accountability contracts designed at the local level, Charter Systems have proven it is possible to offer students new educational opportunities, allowing them to fully achieve their individual potential. Today, nearly 30% of Georgia’s students are enrolled in 42 Charter Systems across our state.

 Casey established Georgia’s College and Career Academy Network to offer high school students access to accredited college-level courses and technical certification programs. College and Career Academies represent a community partnership between a local school system, a technical college or post-secondary institution, and business leaders represented on the academy’s governing board to fulfill the workforce development mission specific to each community. Today, more than 20,000 students are enrolled in Georgia’s 40 College and Career Academies. Plans are in place for more school systems to receive grants each year, making it possible for Georgia to achieve the goal set by Lt. Governor Cagle – so that by 2020, every single student in Georgia will have access to a College and Career Academy.

Lt. Governor Casey Cagle's "Healthy Kids Georgia" program is a collaboration of the Office of Lieutenant Governor, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools Program, and other corporate and community partners. Formed in 2010 to address the epidemic levels of childhood obesity in Georgia and the serious physical and emotional consequences of the problem, the program encourages schools to partner with their local communities and the Healthy Schools program to confront the childhood obesity crisis by implementing health and wellness programs in Georgia’s schools.
