Why am I doing this? Because I have friends that teach, because I want to teach, because to change careers and teach means I have to be paid less than half of what I would make as a skilled laborer WITHOUT a Masters in Education, or even a degree. THAT isn't right, and it isn't fair.

Nā Pua No‘eau has been successful in developing a model of working with students through community issues and topics. It utilizes its research on optimizing learning of Hawaiian students in the context of leadership, raising aspirations and higher achievement. It has successfully integrated university resources (faculty and facilities) to bridge a greater appreciation of higher learning and education as a vehicle for community development. The result is that the students believe higher education is a viable way to improve the conditions of their family and their community. This momentum needs to be sustained. It needs to have continuous presence and opportunities for those from under-served communities, especially Hawaiians. There are also many more students and communities that need to access these opportunities.

OHA has begun defunding Native Hawaiian health and education programs, while continuing to provide millions of beneficiary funds for Kana‘iolowalu. Despite millions spent on advertising and outreach, less than 4% of Native Hawaiians have voluntarily signed up for the Roll. Sign this petition to send a clear message to the Trustees that our top priorities are education and health.

Weil wir uns den Gebührenwahnsinn nicht mehr gefallen lassen!

Our educational system needs updated age-appropriate disease prevention messages to stop the spread on diseases and misinformation from our educational systems.

The Nevada State Board of Education is poised to decide the future of science education for all Nevada Students. Nevada could join states around the country in adopting New Generation Science Standards (NGSS), an updated and comprehensive set of science education standards developed by 26 states, including Nevada. These standards will ensure students receive an up-to-date science education, including learning about climate science. At a time when kids in Carson City, Reno and beyond are suffering from breathing smoke from the enormous Yosemite-area Rim Fire — the kind of fire becoming far more common with climate change — it’s more important than ever for Nevada students to gain a strong understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change. This will give them the foundation they need to identify climate solutions. Let’s send the Board a strong message that our kids deserve a 21st century science education to help them address the challenges and opportunities they will face. Climate change will have a huge impact on our children’s future, and we need to let the Board of Education know Nevada parents, grandparents and science supporters want our kids to learn the facts. You'll help us send that message by signing the petition in support of the new science standards. If we act today, our children and grandchildren will thank us tomorrow!

The dances thrown by the school are being cut this year due to "low attendance". Attendance at the dances is one of the highest attendance rates of events on campus. As a double major in the College of Fine Arts, there are few events on campus that fit into my schedule that allow me to socialize with students from other colleges. By not funding the dances, students are going to be less likely to attend other events on campus. This "low attendance" of other events is going to cause more and more events to be cut from our extracurricular schedules until we have nothing but fraternity parties to attend.

Our children can only benefit from learning and playing chess. Over five hundred students learn and improve their thinking, choices analysis, and socialization at the Purple Sage Elementary School. While there are chess programs scattered throughout the district, there is, currently, no funding and organization on the district level. Consider what a district wide program would accomplish!

It's Needed!!! Our Children Need to be informed. They all need to know where black & white in-differences began. They need to understand why racism has exist & still exist (to a certain extent) in the world we live in today. Our Youth are Our Future, they need to know about their past to Make their future Stronger.

Hate crime, harrassmant, and bullying are not taken seriously enough in the District of Perry Township. There are students who are forced to go to school in fear because not enough action is taken to prevent or conclude these issues. This must be changed for the sake of students' well-being and safety!

I am against the Zero- Tolerance School Discipline Policy,too many of our children are being suspended, expelled and arrested for incidents that could have been prevented. I believe in prevention before Intervention. Lets find a better solution to make our Schools safe, and help our children graduate to success, not failure .

DPS is laying off/transferring Fine Arts teachers and eventually this will cause the dissolution of all Fine Arts programs in DPS schools. Fine Arts and academics go hand in hand and without the Fine Arts programs where will our children be? Fine Arts brings out the best in our children and motivate them to excel in all areas of education.
