The PTA Agenda:
To Make California Schools Great Again
|
California was once the envy of the nation for the quality of its schools and its commitment to its children. Our schools ranked near the top in student achievement and per pupil funding. Now, California's schools rank near the bottom in every objective category.
Yet, it is clear that the future of California, the quality of its culture, and the vibrancy of its economy hinge directly upon our state's commitment to provide to our children an excellent education in superior public schools.
The children of California are truly a very special interest to whom we, the governor, and every member of the state legislature owe their deepest loyalty and commitment.
To Make California Schools Great Again, we must:
|
- Ensure that our public education system is the number one budget priority for the State of California.
- Preserve and protect Proposition 98 and stand by the commitment made to our children by the governor and supported by the legislature in approving the 2004-2005 state budget.
- Work with the legislature and community members to develop and support a plan to ensure that student achievement and per pupil funding in California schools shall place among the top ten states in our nation again by 2015.
