Programs need to be tracked for effectiveness and the ones that work expanded. Restore choice in education By state law, parents can choose what school they send their children to. However, many of our schools have chosen to close their doors to this option. I am com- V , . - !! lliipli - ... . ' at. mitted to returning this option to parents state Bruce.

He feels the state should not require the implementation of new programs at the district level without providing the necessary neces-sary funds. Using parental involvement involve-ment in education Parents, including fathers, need to feel their involvement is meaningful and has a positive posi-tive impact believes Jim. Too often, parents are asked to participate on committees at the local school level and then not invited to attend the meetings or the meetings are held at times that are difficult for parents to attend. He wants to also continue championing cham-pioning the use of technology like Powerschool as an effective effec-tive connection between the student, the parents and the teacher.

Provide educational funding Entry level teaching salaries are so low that most cannot afford to teach and own a home or raise a family without a secondary sec-ondary income states Mike. He wants to see the state legislature leg-islature continue providing increased funding, sustainable sustain-able over time to the State Board of Education for not only salaries, but capital improvements. Reduce class Sizes Each year we have seen some progress in class room size reduction, however, the teachers teach-ers I speak to still have classes class-es so large that it is impossi: ble to sustain one on one help for those in need, states Mike. He will make it a priority especially for the elementary grades where basic reading and writing skills are learned. schools have closed that option. I am in favor of opening it. The state law says students may attend any district in the state. What are the most pressing issues and how would you solve them? Olsen: There is actually a teacher shortage. They were scrambling at the last minute 1o get enough teachers. Testing has to change if we are going to be able to improve education. We have to have children now who can think and problem solve, not just recite from rote memory. We need to change to match what we know to be better education and learning. learn-ing. Fugal: We need to work hard to make sure our children chil-dren know how to read ind write. Hopefully the parents par-ents will help them before they get to school. That will improve the situation all the way through school. Armstrong: My slogan is "Focus on quality education." educa-tion." We rank average in test scores. We can do better. bet-ter. It takes focus. We should move from centralized central-ized management to local ma nage merit. |
