This petition is to show the university that students eating on campus don't have healthy and diverse options to keep themselves healthy and satisfied. This needs to change as students are buying meal plans and aren't using them because they resort to going off campus for better food, which then causes a loss of money in meal-point since we can't get that money back.

Let’s Aim For Beyond 50 And Get As Many Signatures As We Can! Dr. McDougal has always exhibited care and concern for his students. We've seen this from his time as the director of the Black Unity Center where he often spent his own money to ensure that his students had fruitful experiences. He has conducted and published research on Black student success and engagement within the institution and is more than qualified to serve them along with faculty. By supporting the election of Dr. McDougal, you are supporting the right of faculty to proceed with electoral processes of the department. Dr. McDougal has a history of fairly and efficiently managing the department and now has the opportunity to rescue it from mismanagement.

The student body feels as if the current uniform policy does not allow us to properly express our true selves. The student body also believes that the current uniform policy is too constricting and does not allow students to have any freedom on their options. At the end of the day, teachers have to lose valuable classroom time in order to deal with uniform violations. The constant loss of time causes students to be distracted during the rest of the class. The change of uniform will make life much easier for students and teachers next year.

As a taxpayer of Hempstead, I am tired of paying high school taxes for a failing school district. The Hempstead School District has been failing its students for decades...a 37% graduation is malfeasance. This is due to fiscal mismanagement, and lack of accountability. Let's stop this cycle of failure. Our children deserve better!

This Wednesday May 8, 2019, Gillian Chapman, Ed.D is leading the School Board to consider no longer offering 6th grade at Alta Elementary, ending a 108 year tradition with less than 2 weeks notice to the Alta Wyoming community. The board will make the decision at their Regular Board meeting on Wednesday, May 8th, 6pm at the District Office, 1235 Gregory Lane in Jackson. | This petition is a plea to the school board to honor this small schools tradition, rather than farming out our 6th grade education to the State of Idaho.

My teammates and I expected a just game, certainly our opponents from RE as well. Although we understand that referees can err, the evidence of the video shows that this mistake cost Hialeah the game and the path to the state championship. Sportsmanship and fairness should be exercised in all aspects of the game. Winning or losing a water polo game should be based on the team’s athletic abilities. The rules of the sport should be applied correctly. This situation must be resolved before May 10th., the date of the State Semifinals Championship.

First, she partnered with human rights abuser Joe Arpaio as Governor of Arizona. Then as Secretary of Homeland Security, she built the deportation machine that Trump is now using to separate families from their children. Now as President of the University of California, she has allowed her negotiators to bargain in bad faith for two years with UC’s largest unions, leading to a series of disruptive strikes. She is continuing rather than reversing the trend of rising gender, income, and racial inequality and privatization at UC. She has overseen an increase in outsourcing of jobs to private interests with links to UC executives and an ongoing attack on working standards. She is sacrificing the world-class education, research, and healthcare at the UC by putting the interest of UC executives and their partners in private industry – some of whom make more than $1 million annually – over those of front-line workers. Enough is enough! The University of California is a public institution, not a slush fund for UC executives and regents

My daughter is a current Pre-k student zoned for Burgess-Peterson Academy Elementary. Currently, only students 1-5 receive Spanish as a "special". Research has shown that the earlier the exposure to a language helps to improve cognitive abilities and overall language retention. Our children should be able to have access to this wealth of knowledge housed at BPA.

Sunset Park has the largest, working-class industrial waterfront in Brooklyn, but Industry City wants to turn it into a playground for the rich. Industry City wants to change current zoning to build large chain retail stores and luxury hotels, which may lead to luxury housing. We must protect long-time residents, workers, and small, locally-owned businesses from rising rents and displacement. This is our neighborhood. We should be deciding the future of our waterfront and neighborhood, not private developers like Industry City. Sunset Park tiene la costa de agua industrial más grande. La comunidad de Sunset Park cuenta con una población de personas mayormente de clase obrera y bajo ingreso en Brooklyn. Descaradamente los patrones de Industry City quieren destruir nuestra comunidad, y convertirlo en un patio de recreo para los ricos. Mediante el mecanismo de rezonificación ellos desean cambiar la zonificación actual para construir grandes cadenas de tiendas minoristas y hoteles de lujo, lo que puede llevar a viviendas de lujo. Debemos proteger a los residentes, trabajadores y pequeñas empresas de propiedad local desde hace mucho tiempo del aumento de alquileres y desplazamientos. Este es nuestro barrio. Deberíamos decidir el futuro de nuestra línea de costa y vecindario, no de desarrolladores privados como Industry City.

Our children, Abraham, Angel, and Kai, are 3 of the children with dyslexia who attend the Language-based Learning Disability Program at Graham and Parks school, which is about to be cut in half, removing 1 of 2 teachers. Children in this program need more resources. Eliminating this position will make it harder for students to receive the support they need to catch up to their peers and to be included with their peers as they prepare to go to the upper school. Eliminating this position will make it difficult for children who have yet to be identified who need this program to access these resources.

Rutgers has unfairly benefited from excessively issuing parking citations at the student's expense for too long. Rutgers rakes in $5 million annually from parking violations, which raises two questions: 1) Where is the money going? 2) Are students paying an unnecessary price? Hundreds of students have faced the burden of excessive parking citations. The minimum cost of a ticket has increased from $10 in 2008 to $25 today. As of last year, Rutgers stopped issuing physical tickets and employed an online system to view tickets. This system allows many more tickets to be issued at a time and often, several tickets are issued to the same vehicle within the same hour. To make matters especially worse, many students don’t receive any notification that they received a ticket until months later, after hundreds of dollars worth of fines and late fees have already accumulated. These financial holds impede class registration and graduation, and many students have been forced to drop out of school as they are left with overwhelming debt they cannot afford to pay. All of this could have been avoided had they received proper notification in the first place. Its time to make Rutgers parking system more fair and just, and end exploitative practices. We call on transportation heads to lower the cost of fines and limit the number of tickets that can be issued--and to improve the ticketing system, so that proper fine notifications are guaranteed. Rutgers already has a reputation for not caring about its students (especially commuters, who make up half the student population); it would be wise to take their concerns seriously.

Green Mountain College, “FIRST IN SUSTAINABILITY” has a well-deserved reputation as a leader in sustainability: https://www.greenmtn.edu/about/why-gmc/awards-accolades/ The entire campus is heated with a wood chip gasification technology to create steam that warms all the buildings. They can also use this steam to create their own electricity. It has a working farm complete with animals, greenhouse, and solar panels. The beauty of the campus, the student culture, and dedication to all the different aspects of sustainability would be a great loss for the town of Poultney and the region. It would also be a great loss to all the hardworking folks everywhere trying to save our planet. They also have some great masters degrees: Master of Science degree in Resilient & Sustainable Communities (MRSC) Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems
