• Equal Opprotunity for Girls LaCrosse Playes In Charlotte County

The equality for females in varsity sports has been violated, and with the advancement of Port Charlotte Girls LaCrosse to becomeing a varsity sport it will prevent any futher violations. Protect the federal funding of Port Charlotte High by advancing equality for their female varsity sports.

  • The Good Samaritan Policy: Help Ensure The Safety Of Fellow Students
    The safety of students should be USF's top priority. The current policy at USF concerning students in need of medical care due to drug or alcohol overdose is not acceptable. Students should not be afraid to call for medical help if there is an emergency, but instead should be granted medical amnesty to help preserve the lives of students. Please help ensure the safety of fellow students by signing this petition. To learn more about the Good Samaritan Policy please visit these websites: http://ssdp.org/ http://www.medicalamnesty.org/

  • Avoid the Next Philly Education Crisis. Demand Charter School Accountability!
    Governor Corbett forced the closing of dozens of Philadelphia schools by slashing over $1 billion from education funding. Now Governor Corbett says privatization through charter schools is the only answer to the education problem that he created. As more and more public money goes to charter schools, tax payers deserve to know if their education dollars are being well-spent. Unfortunately, charter schools do not have the same level of accountability and transparency that public schools have. Schools should be in the business of teaching our kids, not making corporate profits. It’s time to level the playing field and hold charter schools accountable. Philadelphia cannot afford another avoidable education crisis courtesy of the Corbett administration.

  • Safer Bathrooms
    I find our school bathrooms quite hazardous because of the lack of cleanliness. We all know that our school bathrooms could use a lot more attention but one thing we can change right now is adding seat protectors to the stalls.

  • Increase In Deductable Level College Loan Interest For 65+ Parents Still Paying
    There is an annual limit on the interest on college loans you are allowed to declare on your tax returns (based on income). I personally pay a college loan balance of over $90,000 for a loan taken for my son a number of years ago. The interest on this balance is approximately $6500 a year of which I can only declare about $2500. I am recommending that the IRS increase the allowable interest that can be deducted each year for seniors age 65 and over paying for college loans to provide some cash-flow relief given many at this point have fixed incomes. My son is not in a position to assume or provide loan support.

  • SAVE THE AZUSA ADULT SCHOOL FROM CLOSING
    Petition Background Adult Education plays a vital role in the Azusa community. Since 1928 the Azusa Adult School provides a wide range of learning opportunities that meet the needs of the community’s diverse population. In today’s suffering economy taking away these valuable educational opportunities and resources just doesn’t make any sense. Please add your name to the "SAVE THE AZUSA ADULT SCHOOL" petition. The adult education funding issue is bigger than Azusa and rebuilding a school system after it was shut down will be hugely expensive...
