Arundel EMS Forced Uniforms for Pre-K/K Closing ActivityThe new principal Ms. Machado decided to inform parents exactly one week before Closing Activities our young children will have to be in uniform to participate. The children are in their first years of school and have been wearing uniforms 95% of the time, with the exception field trips and spirit week. Many parents have already purchased outfits and it is likely the children have seen them. Likewise, many parents are not in a position to purchase brand new uniforms for their young ones Special Day. Also, Ms. Machado informed certain parents that the teachers of grades Pre-K and K were made aware of the changes back in March of this year. When questioned, all but one teacher (who couldn't recall) said that the forced uniform subject never came up. Ms. Machado placed sole blame for the lack of communication and late notice to parents on those same teachers.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by The Parents of Arundel EMS #164

Del. Carr and Sen. Marsh: Please Support GMO Labeling in VirginiaThis is an issue that affects everyone. GMOs are not currently labeled in Virginia so when we shop at our local grocery stores we do not always know what we are purchasing. If we had companies label GMOs, it would uphold our right to know what is in our food.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmine Brink

Keep the Cameras Off Our StreetsI have a legitimate concern seeing the things going on around the nation, and these things are quickly materializing in our own backyard. Cameras in our streets and highways, drones in our skies, unnecessary police bullying/violence. What is this coming to and how far will it go before we take action?65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Colton Michael Sheldon

Make CPR/emergency training mandatory before allowing individuals/employees to supervise students...After 7 months of frustration as a "Program Specialist", I was fired from 'After-School All-Stars' on March 14, 2014, for exhibiting behavior that proved I was not adequately trained in CPR/emergency training, nor the basic responsibilities of the position I was given. In my last meeting with the Director of Operations, I was told that obtaining such training was simply "my responsibility to schedule", and then terminated. I think the parents trusting this after-school program enough to leave their children in their care, would be interested in knowing what kind of training (or lack thereof) ASAS is providing their employees. It is their duty as an organization serving the public, to ensure that their employees are adequately trained and knowledgeable in ALL necessary areas. I believe they owe it to the community to look into implementing follow-up programs for their "trainings" with all of the employees in their organization, across all sites, to make sure no one else has slipped through the cracks.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Towler

Bereavement Leave PetitionI am the mother of a deceased child and know how hard it is to adjust following the death of a child. My employer allowed 3 days bereavement leave. That was hardly enough time to plan Todd's funeral. The real challenge was adjusting to a new normal following a traumatic loss. If an employee is allowed up to 12 weeks for the birth of a child, why is an employee not allowed the same for the death of a child? Having experienced both, I assure you the latter was a much tougher adjustment for me. A parent should not need a medical diagnosis of depression to utilize the FMLA leave! The obituary should be more than enough! Please help me to help the parents that don't ever want to think they will need this...until they do.2,779 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sherri Sengsouvanna

To Serve and Protect Our CommunitiesMy husband and I were victimized last year at our home. My neighbors called the police 4 different times and they never came. Even after my neighbors mentioned hearing gun shots, glass breaking and home alarm going off the police still didn't come. After my husband and I were robbed and almost gunned down in our driveway myself and a different neighbor called the police. The police came after the fact. Now my husband is is paralyzed from the waist down. If the police would have responsed to the first call the crime would have been prevented and my husband wouldn't be paralyzed. And the criminals would have been caught. The evidence was not properly collected due to the lack of not caring or doing their job to protect and serve.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mrs. Williams

Restoring Access to Parent LoansDear Secretary Duncan One of the most viable tools to fund post graduate education, the Parent Loan is currently encumbered by a new set of guide lines which has prevented 16% of low income students the ability to either embark on or continue their education. The former president of Bennett College Dr. Julianne Malveaux and the United Negro College Fund have indicated that if the present guidelines remain in place the number of students negatively impacted will continue to rise. Under the guise of reducing student loan default the eligibility rules for Parent Loans were tighten and under the revised 2014-15 rules any parent who has had one delinquency within the past twelve months will not qualify for the loan. The data indicates that parent loans have the lowest default rate of any education funding product currently available therefore tightening the eligibility rules was completed unnecessary. Please set your administrative prowess in action and restore the former guidelines and ensure that this decline in ability to pursue a post graduate education does not continue into the 2014-2015 academic year and ensure that restricting access will not continue to contribute to generational poverty. Your prompt and affirmative response would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours,1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlot
