Issue Position: Competitive Curriculums

Issue Position

The top priority for our schools is to prepare each student to compete for jobs by providing a well rounded and challenging education. This is only possible through a rich curriculum that takes students beyond basic skills and provides enrichment critical to the development of an entrepreneurial and knowledge based workforce. We are often led to believe that only certain schools are able to provide students with this critical component of success. However, every school should aspire and have the ability to provide every child with equal access to a competitive curriculum. This includes:

*Making sure children are exposed to the rich content that will propel them past the notorious fourth-grade reading slump.

*Providing hands on experiences for our students beyond the classroom.

*Renewing our commitment to technical education.
