What would be some good legislative priorities for 2011 - Fall conference

Ø Budget
Ø Funding
Ø Standardized testing
Ø Extracurricular activities
Ø $$$
Ø Get rid of “no child left behind” – it’s not working
Ø PE brought back to school in full force
Ø Art brought back and music (not band)
Ø School lunch improvement for health!!!! Recess before lunch?
Ø Cell phone use in school
Ø Trust lands
Ø Local district school $
Ø PE and recess – keep recess in schools!!! Healthy lunches
Ø More money to schools. Not so much unknown
Ø Well rounded education to include the arts/music
Ø Healthy lunches – more healthy choices
Ø Funding
Ø Funding differences to charter schools versus public schools
Ø Eliminate school district “chance” to fund special pet projects
Ø Require teachers who teach children with extra needs (such as title 1 teachers) to have specialized training in educating children with those needs. A mainstream teacher is not qualified.
Ø Safety in schools (bullying, enough recess aids so that all parts of the playground are being watched at all times, etc)
