Governor Sandoval, our children are Nevada’s future. ALL children in Nevada deserve the best teachers so that Nevada no longer ranks last in our nation in education. Nevada ranks last in the U.S. for high school graduates. In the top school districts worldwide, three things matter most: 1) getting the right people to become teachers, 2) developing them into effective instructors and, 3) ensuring that the system is able to deliver the best possible instruction to EVERY child. Nevada will dwell more on primary and secondary education. We need to make sure that ALL children in secondary education are prepared to meet the needs of our ever changing and demanding workforce, this means, preparing them for the world outside of Nevada and seeing that ALL are prepared to meet those needs through higher education. Without our children meeting the future workforce demands, Nevada will remain a workforce that only supports low-paying casino and mining jobs.

I have because of the requirements we can get help with paying for are kids going to school at a private one

I.S. 318's funding for after-school programs, including its national championship chess team, is at risk. After-school programs like these give students the opportunity to explore new interests and receive additional academic enrichment. Sign the petition to urge Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Mullgrav to fully fund these programs in this year's budget.

Fayette County GA is looking to close elementary schools due to the State of Georgia NOT FUNDING the public schools. This is not an option people!! Funding of our public schools is a Law! The Ga State Constitution states that " The state is REQUIRED to fund our schools, not should fund!!! They MUST!! It is up to us.... Tax paying citizens to Demand the money owed to us!!

Every Michigander should be concerned about school safety. It is our duty to protect the most vulnerable amongst us. We have the money to improve school safety in Michigan. Now we need the leadership to from our state government to get it done.

Education has always been a focus in my family's life. Not only has this been a means for my family to provide for themselves but also a means to enjoy the full richness of life. We need a national conversation and movement towards making our populace proud of their knowledge and encourage literacy to ensure our citizens' ability to participate fully in our democracy.

Public education

My grand-daughters live in Essex CO VA and are currently enrolled in Virginia Virtual Academy (VAVA) - an online public home school option. The elder granddaughter has an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Public online home schooling is an optimal and viable educational option enabling her to learn in a free and safe educational environment. Since the current Virginia Virtual Academy program only extends to the 8th grade, she will not be afforded this excellent online public homeschooling opportunity next year when she enters high school. This petition is a request for your support to increase Virginia Virtual Academy to include High School. It is also a request to support expanding Virginia Virtual Academy by increasing VA Counties enrolling students in this public school option. The VAVA online homeschool program provides increased educational opportunities for all children - especially those with IEPs who are often bullied in school..

Missouri Politians want to take tenure from teachers and have them to be at will workers. Educators should be concern about a career choice that should not be politically power by elective officials. If any concerns it should be more funding for schools and teachers. There is a SENATE Bill requesting the termination of teacher tenure in this state. As an educator for 20 plus years, I advocate for teachers who will follow and deserve the few benefits of becoming a teacher. In urban areas teacher consistence in the classroom is a must.
