| Governor Matt Mead's State of the State Address
PROPOSALS
Charter Schools
-- Interested in moving forward on charter schools. Charter schools could provide some new ideas to be used at traditional schools. For this model to work, the charter schools cannot cherry pick the best students.
Finance
-- Reduce school capital construction by $61.5 million.
-- Expect districts to use block grants – state money – in ways that put students in the best position to succeed.
Teaching Quality
-- To determine the quality of teaching requires an objective standard. Failing the use of an objective standard we
presume the infallibility of administrators. We need a testing program that is administered in a way that will measure students and teachers alike in a manner that clearly identifies both success and problems.
