Do not approve Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary!The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is scheduled to vote on her January 31st. We feel that she does not have the knowledge, the experience or the skills necessary to be the Secretary of Education. Her direction would create segregated schools and increase the gap between people who have money and those who don't. She is not knowledgeable about special education laws and other programs to implement federally required programs.249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Thea Vierling

Caution:Cabinet NomineesAs a retired Early Childhood Educator (40 years) I am most concerned about billionaire De Vos' nomination. I can't support someone who has had NO classroom experience. I won't support a billionaire whose life experiences are so far removed from the overwhelming majority of families whose children attend our nation's schools.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gerry Cohee

Tell State Reps to vote NO to DevosDevos has little to non experience in running public educational institutions, nor teaching or heading any major organization. She has affirmed allowing guns in schools and agrees that defunding public schools is a possibility. My son attends public school and already suffers from a lack of reseources necessary to obtaining a quality education so that he can compete for acceptance to a quality University. Defunding schools is the same as defunding our children and future. Sign, to tell our State Representative to say no to defunding our future!447 of 500 SignaturesCreated by William C. Luff

Tell Congress: Betsy DeVos is a Disaster for Students with DisabilitiesMy family, like millions of families with children with disabilities across the country, depends on the protections and supports offered by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that allow our son with autism to attend public school, gaining the education and skills he needs to achieve his full potential in life. This generation of young people with disabilities and their families should not have to worry about a return to policies that systematically excluded and denied children like ours before this law was passed and enforced.2,978 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Engle

GIHS: 8:30 AM Start Times! GOAL: 200 signatures!I am a student at GIHS in Grand Island, NY, and I personally am desperate for a better sleep at night based on my needs as a teen! The decision of what time school should start and end should not be manipulated because of extracurricular activities, but they should be changed based on the needs of the kids! After all, if school is for the education of kids, why strip quality learning and understanding away by early school hours? Please sign and spread the word! We are very thankful for your support.207 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Eve DiCarlo

Demand Carl Palladino's Immediate School Board Resignation!It is appalling that a person with such extremely bigoted viewpoints is serving on a school board! Where the schools of New York State are exemplary in our commitment to protect students from racist bullying, a hateful individual who has made such remarks as to wish the death of a President and to undermine a First Lady who are esteemed by countless Americans is absolutely unqualified as a leader on a school board.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Doreen Perrine
