PROPOSALS
K-12/Governance/High School Senior Year
-- Create one agency - the Department of Education - which will focus solely on student education with one plan for a seamless system from pre-school to Ph.D.
-- Make the 12th grade relevant and exciting. Give our students a leg up in the competitive world of tomorrow by ensuring they leave their senior year on their way to certification, apprenticeship or college credits.
Postsecondary Attainment/Postsecondary Affordability/Postsecondary Accountability
-- Encourage every student to "complete to compete"— complete an AA, bachelor's or advanced degree so he or she can compete for the jobs of tomorrow.
-- Establish tuition flexibility at our colleges and universities to keep the doors of higher education open to all and to maintain high-quality education in good and bad times.
-- Adopt the recommendations of the Higher Education Funding Task Force, which increases the number of graduates, requires greater accountability from our colleges and universities, ensure stable funding, and establish a $1 billion Washington Pledge Scholarship Program.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
-- Not prominently included, focused on proposals.
