PROPOSALS
Student Achievement
-- Create an educational system that can help us compete globally. Maine can and must lead the nation [in student performance].
-- Improving education in Maine starts with one simple step: putting students first. That is not a slogan. It is not a cliche. We all must ask ourselves "What is best for the student?"
-- Ensure children's educational needs are determined by their families – not by their street address.
Teaching Quality/Effectiveness
-- Introduce a series of reforms related to Maine's teacher effectiveness policies.
Career and Technical
-- Ensure that every student has access to a wider array of educational opportunities. Increase access to, and improve upon, Maine's Career and Technical Education System. Students should have the ability to choose to study trades, and develop skills before joining the workforce.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Charter Schools
-- Passed charter school legislation.
Finance
-- Increased general purpose aid to K-12 education by $63 million.
