Board of Education: We Want a 9/4/12 Start DateThe Middletown Board of Education ("BOE") has, without appropriate notice, postponed the 2012-13 student start date. The posted 2012 student start date is Monday, September 10th, 2012. The education of our children is being delayed to use the week of 9/4/12-9/7/12 to accommodate the training of teachers prior to the opening of schools to students. Twelve weeks is an unreasonable amount of time for children to be without education. This delayed opening will create significant economic hardship for childcare driven families. Please tell the BOE this is not acceptable. Our children and their families need your help. Thank you!621 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Middletown Parent

Teach critical thinking in our schoolsWe need to insure that the future inheritors of our country are taught to be skeptical about what they hear and read from all sources in society. They need to critically analyze for themselves, their futures, how they vote, their spirituality, as well as all the decisions they make. Our education system needs to instill in them a sense of objectivity in their beliefs and decision making.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Burgess

UCLA Masters in Science Program in NutritionNutritional science is a growing interest among young health professionals. Most professional graduate programs are crowded with academic requirements and leave little room for the study of nutrition. While many programs include short courses in nutrition, nutrition is emerging as a complex subject that requires more instruction time. In order to provide a strong base in nutrition, a full year of focused study has been found to be effective. The Institute of Human Nutrition in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University is the pioneer in providing this educational opportunity. The demand for Columbia’s Master of Science Program is growing with over double the graduates (80) this year compared to thirty years ago. The proposal for a Masters in Science Program in Nutrition will provide the opportunity to focus on the subject of nutrition over the course of a year to prepare the next generation of health professionals to effectively promote health and wellness through optimal nutrition, physical activity and emotional wellbeing. The proposed Masters of Science in Nutrition would be a 12-month program that provides the foundation in Nutritional Science that will lead graduates to careers in Medicine, Public Health, Policy, Research or Academics. A multidisciplinary team of UCLA Professors would teach the Master students. This program would take advantage of the large resource pool of talented UCLA professors who focus on nutrition and provide a cadre of self identified graduate students to participate in the Nexus Initiative. Other educational opportunities could be a Master in Science for Health Professionals, a PhD in Nutrition or a MD/PhD.103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Henderson

Return Local Power to SchoolsThe biggest problems facing public school students are the underfunded mandates of government agencies,big business profiteering, ill-guided commissions, and politicians all looking to line their pockets and build their resume's. Parents, school children, educators and local school boards know better how to prepare and support their local kids, and it's not with endless testing and cheap, disrespected teachers. Return their power of self governance and funding. Stop selling their futures to publishing giants, data-miners and "charter schools".1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan McConnell
