| Governor Jon Huntsman's State of the State Address
Finance
Recently proposed budget calls for more funding support for public education [4.5% for weighted pupil unit funding; $21.7 million for higher education].
Bolstering support for reading, launched by Governor Walker, and for the first time --math. And we'll soon focus on reading comprehension and writing. All of which are key pillars of literacy necessary for success in today's world.
Budget recommendation offers unprecedented support for beginning teacher compensation ($15 million).
Each elementary school teacher will find an additional $300 dollars more for their classroom.
Business, Community Involvement
Encourage business leaders to became more actively involved with education through implementing programs that unite them with parents, teachers, and students. Instead of just the student to teacher ratio, let's look to things like an adult to student ratio. Let's tap into our vast volunteer potential and can-do spirit by asking parents and grandparents to come back to the classroom for purposes of mentoring, tutoring, and career guidance.
