• New School Books
    My petition is about supplying our school with new books because some of our teachers like my own have to use the same books over and over again. For example my reading practice books are missing pages and there are written in when there not supposed to be. People should sign my petition because is is helpful to the school.

  • Keep Freedom Area Senior High School on a block schedule.
    Freedom's administration is attempting to change our block schedule back into an eight period a day schedule. Currently, it is an issue with teachers on one side and the administration on the other. However, the overall focus should be on the students and what benefits them! This petition is to show that the students do not agree with this and want their opinions heard. Please sign to show your support in favor of the block schedule and also share your opinions in the comments.

  • Redistricting Schools
    There are too many school districts in Pennsylvania. Each of the districts in Pennsylvania has a Superintendent and Assistant Superintendant who, typically, earn six-figure salaries. On top of this, many districts pay retired administrators to act as consultants in district matters. The amount of money that is wasted on these administrative salaries could be put to much better use.

  • Vote "No" on SB 24 "Education Reform"
    Governor Malloy's sponsored bill for education "reform" ignores decades of research and data on educational reform, and instead seeks a "fix" for something that is not broken: teacher certification, evaulation, and retention. True reformers should read Jaime Vollmer's book, Schools Can't Do It Alone.

  • Hold UC Trustees Accountable
    The University of California Trustees are giving themselves outrageous increases in salaries and benefits (which are already outrageous) at a time when they are raising tuition for students. These decisions should be taken from the hands of the "Trustees" and left to the discretion of the voters.

  • Student Loan Forgiveness Act 2012
    The State of NH has one of the highest (if not highest) student loan debts in the nation. On average, a student in NH finishes college with at least $30,000 in student loans. To make this situation worse....we are unable to find jobs at a rate where we can begin to make the payments back 6 months after graduating. Do we really want students to be discouraged at continuing their education because of this? I'd hate to think of the consequences of this happening. Lack of qualified workers in certain jobs would then create poorer productivity and thus affect our State's reputation.

  • Service Student Loan Repayment
    Many young American citizens are struggling under the burden of debt accrued while earning a college degree, debts which they took on under the understanding that such a degree would improve their opportunities to find employment. The youth of this country have been disproportionately impacted by the economic downturn of 2008 and unemployment/underemployment still remains high. Many are postponing important life decisions like buying a home or starting a family due to the burden of student loans. We propose allowing these citizens to repay their loan through volunteer service hours in their own communities. Furthermore, we seek to retroactively increase the education award given to Americorps members by 30% in recognition of the service they gave to their nation.
