Congress: Fund Special Ed under IDEAAs a parent with children in public school, I've watched my town struggle to balance its budget to cope with rising enrollment, health insurance, energy and special education costs. The only options are to cut other services or raise property taxes. Congress passed legislation to mandate special education but never appropriated enough funds to pay the 40% federal share, pushing the cost down to the state and local levels.127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Susan Verdicchio

Every Public School should have a libraryBeing a librarian for going on 30 years, I have witnessed the demise of the library in the public school setting. With drastic cuts in state education budgets, libraries were hit hard and resulted in over half the schools in America without functioning libraries. Libraries have always been the heart of a learning institution. Literacy rates soar with a good library and we need a literate future society.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carl Birk

impoverished middle class parentsIn Pennsylvania families like mine pay 40% of net income for their children's early education. Single parents receive help, people with extremely low income receive help. But those people who decide to marry and work full time jobs receive absolutely no help. My family would be better off financially if i left the house. The family would be showered with benefits including subsidized daycare. Many families choose to live separately, or never marry because they would rather not worry about picking what bills to skip out on paying because they spent $1400 on daycare for the month, more than the rent, car payment, insurance, food combined.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by brian anderson

Teachers need a raise!!!Every year our teachers struggle at home to pay their bills, while still being expected to make it work on time in order to teach our children and sometimes even expected to come out of pocket to pay for classroom activities necessary for our children's development and success. I know this is happening because I was a first hand witness; my mother was a teacher and educator for over two decades.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darrell Hayward

Keep Creationism Out of Public SchoolsCreation Theory is best taught in the home and Church, not in Public Schools. Science and Geology are subjects for academic study, not religious dogma! However well intentioned,"creationism" is not a suitable school subject. Diversity of religion is a basic foundation of American liberty. Let the parents decide religious views for their children, not the government of Indiana.3,067 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Greg Young

Reduce Class Size at Brown Elementary SchoolWe are deeply concerned about the rising class size at Brown Elementary School. Larger class size means less individualized attention for our students. We need to find a way to reduce class size at Brown for the 2013-14 school year, especially for the rising first grade class.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie McDonough
