AlaskaGovernor Sarah Palin's State of the State Address

Finance
-- Shaping a three-year funding plan to enable schools to focus on innovation and accountability to see superior results. We're asking lawmakers to pass a new K-12 funding plan early this year. This is a significant investment that is needed to increase the base student allocation, district cost factors and intensive needs students. It includes $100 million in school construction and deferred maintenance.

-- Three-year Education Plan invests more than a billion dollars each year. We must forward-fund education, letting schools plan ahead. We must stop pink-slipping teachers, and then struggle to recruit and retain them the next year.

-- Put $7 billion dollars into the Permanent Fund, Constitutional Budget Reserve, the Education Fund and PERS/TRS debt relief.


Health
-- Combat alcohol, abuse and suicide through Youth Wellness Initiatives.

-- Educate kids about healthy eating and physical activities.

High School
-- Focus on foundational skills needed in the "real-world" workplace and in college.

-- It's a privileged obligation we have to "open education doors." Every child, of every ability, is to be cherished and loved and taught. Every child provides this world hope. They are the most beautiful ingredient in our sometimes muddied up world. Stepping through "the door" is about more than passing a standardized test. We need kids prepared to pass life's tests – like getting a job and valuing a strong work ethic.

Workforce Training and Postsecondary
-- Boost job training and University options. Proposing more than $10 million in new funding for apprenticeship programs, expansion of construction, engineering and health care degrees to meet demands. It's about results and getting kids excited about their future – whether it is college, trade school or military.

-- Make attending Alaska's universities and trade schools a reality for more Alaskans through merit scholarships.

ColoradoGovernor Bill Ritter's State of the State Address

Economic Development
-- Use the new Jobs Cabinet to align Colorado's economic-development strategies, education programs and regional workforce needs, producing a high-quality, 21st century labor force.

-- Double the production of technical certificates and college degrees over the next 10 years. To do that, we need our higher ed systems pulling in the same direction, not competing against each other.

Finance
-- Allocate $59.5 million for postsecondary education, an 8 percent increase to higher-ed funding. And that follows a $52 million, 7.5 percent increase the year before.

Health
-- Enroll 17,000 more eligible children into CHP+, and undertake major efforts to enroll more eligible families in Medicaid by simplifying, streamlining and modernizing the application and administrative processes.

-- Fully fund the Childhood Immunization Information System.

P-16
-- Cut the drop-out rate in half within 10 years.

-- Align content standards for pre-school through high school with college admission standards (the "Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids") This will take unprecedented collaboration from the Departments of Education and Higher Education to establish new policies that measure actual student learning and proficiency and prepare all Colorado kids for college or a career in the 21st century.

-- Move forward on recommendations from Governor Ritter's P-20 Education Coordinating Council:
+ Offer full-day kindergarten to 22,000 more children over five years, eliminating the current 3,000-child waiting list for the Colorado Pre-School Program
+ Create a Colorado Counselor Corps that would deploy 70 guidance counselors into targeted middle and high schools to keep students in school and get them ready for college.

Safety
--Launch the new School Safety Resource Center. The Department of Public Safety will be identifying sites around Colorado to conduct vulnerability assessments, train faculty and students, and provide additional violence-prevention measures to keep students and teachers safe. Work with local educators and prevention groups to create individually tailored safety plans.

-- Protect those who can't protect themselves -- including foster children and those with severe developmental disabilities by requesting funding (nearly $500,000) to increase the number of employees who monitor county foster care programs, from just one -- for the entire state -- to seven. Also, request $10.6 million for staffing, facilities and services for people with developmental disabilities.

Student Achievement
-- Cut the existing achievement gap separating poor and minority students from more affluent and white students of about 30 percentage points to half (within 10 years).

ConnecticutGovernor M. Jodi Rell's State of the State Address

Child Care/Early Learning
-- Provide the Department of Public Health with five additional staff to increase both the number and frequency of inspections of child care facilities

Economic/Workforce Development
-- Provide $800,000 in additional funding for nursing scholarships and teaching at UConn, our state universities, and community-technical colleges.

-- Provide $300,000 for an engineering loan reimbursement program to engineers who work in our State.

-- Establish an exciting "Green Collar" Jobs program at our vo-tech schools to train students in energy efficient building, construction and retrofit work.

Finance
-- Advocate for enactment of a property tax cap.

-- Fund youth violence prevention programs and substance abuse counselors.

Health
-- Fully implement the initiative to enroll children in HUSKY B at birth – and work with schools to identify low-income families for program eligibility. 

Safety
-- Roll back curfew times, increase on-the-road training requirements and put stiff penalties in place for driving under the influence and violating laws regarding carrying passengers, talking on cell phones, text messaging, speeding and racing. We've lost too many of our young people to tragic accidents.


Tuition/Fees
-- Waive college tuition at all state colleges for spouses and children of service members killed in action.

DelawareGovernor Ruth Ann Minner's State of the State Address

Early Learning
-- Continue to support the efforts of the Vision 2015 group, an organization of business leaders, educators and state officials who are committed to a plan to make our schools the best in the world. In that effort, we will recommend an appropriation of $500,000 to continue to invest in early childhood education.

Distance Education
-- Make the virtual school a reality by investing more than $250,000 in that cutting-edge project.

Finance
-- Devote any cost savings through this effort to our early childhood education initiatives and other classroom programs. Cost savings were identified by the 18-member Leadership for Education Achievement in Delaware (or LEAD) Committee.)

Health
-- Get Lieutenant Governor Carney's Challenge program in every single elementary school in Delaware by this time next year.
(In Delaware schools, nurses, teachers, and principals have been innovative in creating programs to address the growing problem of childhood obesity through this program -- now in 43% of elementary schools.)

Kindergarten
-- Continue funding for full-day kindergarten, a program that helps children get additional time in the classroom as they are building the foundation for their educational success.
Budget proposal for the next fiscal year includes state funding for full-day kindergarten in 11 districts and nine charter schools

Financial Aid
-- Pass the Student Academic Reward scholarship program, or STAR. The STAR scholarship would enable high-achieving SEED graduates to continue on to a four-year, tuition-free bachelor's degree. (The SEED scholarship program offers free college tuition to any student who works hard, stays out of trouble, and gets good grades.)

Safety
-- Support the Departments of Education and Safety and Homeland Security in joining forces to protect our children. Beginning this spring, the Delaware State Police will begin offering fingerprinting and other safety-related tools to every fourth-grader in every elementary school in our state. Over time, every school-age child will participate in this program.

FloridaGovernor Charlie Crist's State of the State Address

Economic Development
-- Fuel Florida's Innovation Incentive Program to bring cutting-edge, world-class research centers to the state. These centers are economic catalysts that drive discovery and
collaboration, diversify our economy and bring high-wage, high-skill, secure jobs to Florida.

Health
-- Target $60.6 million toward enrolling more than 46,000 additional children in the KidCare program.
-- Address obesity. Charge the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness with developing a state plan to promote physical fitness and sound nutrition. Challenge elementary students and schools to do even more by participating in the Governor's Fitness Challenge.

Teaching Quality--Compensation -- Diversified Pay
-- Fully fund teacher bonuses for those who improve student achievement and who work diligently to improve their teaching skills through national peer review.

Postsecondary Education
-- Continue to invest in higher education (budget provides for more than $5 billion for higher education, an increase over last year.)

IowaGovernor Chet Culver's State of the State Address

Early Learning
-- Expand early childhood education so we can meet our goal of offering it statewide by 2010.

Economic/Workforce Development
-- Create a $5 million dollar science, technology, engineering, and math – or STEM – Center at the University of Northern Iowa. This will help us double the number of math and science teachers in our public schools and make sure every high school graduate is ready for the jobs of the future.

Financial Aid
-- Expand the needs-based All-Iowa Opportunity Scholarship.

Health
-- Establish a minimum standard for physical activity in our schools.

-- Partner with the American Diabetes Association and other groups to create a statewide focus on wellness for our children.

-- Take the steps necessary to replace unhealthy food choices in our schools. We need statewide effort to promote healthier school meals, and better options when it comes to vending
machines.

-- Meet the obligation we have to the most vulnerable among us, our uninsured children. Expand health care to 7,500 more kids.

Postsecondary
-- Maintain the funding levels for community colleges, regents' institutions and private colleges.

-- Fully fund our successful community college level workforce training program, known as ACE.

Standards/Curriculum
-- Raise the bar and expect more from our students in the classroom. Do whatever it takes to institute Iowa's new Model Core Curriculum statewide by 2010. Our goal is simple, to teach our kids to "love to learn", to love to learn more chemistry, more physics, more algebra, and more trigonometry.

-- Make sure that all Iowa students receive the same educational opportunities, regardless of geography, family income, or school district.

Teacher Compensation
-- Pay our teachers what they deserve, and do whatever it takes to bring them to the national average in teacher pay.

NebraskaGovernor Dave Heineman's State of the State Address

Ensure a pre-kindergarten through college education system that is accountable, affordable, efficient, and student focused.

Accountability, Standards
-- Accountability requires measuring school district academic success and Nebraska needs a simplified student measurement system for comparing school district performance. The goal is better testing, not more testing. School district leaders need to focus their time and energy on closing the academic achievement gap. More parents need to be involved in their children's education. More rigorous academic standards are needed in our schools and overall academic performance must be improved.

Economic Development
-- Create a new tier of performance based incentives that reward the creation of higher paying jobs through a new program called the Nebraska Super Advantage. The Nebraska Super Advantage is about the next decade and the next generation of Nebraskans.

Finance
-- Expand the tax relief package passed during the 2007 session by directing an additional $75 million to property tax reductions.

-- Fully-fund the state aid to schools formula. Provide an additional $53 million in funding for K-12 schools in FY 2008-09, bringing the state's appropriation for K-12 education to more than $900 million next year.

Health
-- Reverse the trend of childhood obesity. Obesity is a problem that needs to be addressed in our schools, in our work places, in our homes, and in our communities. This issue doesn't require a new law. It's about eating properly and exercising regularly. Both children and adults need to be physically active.

State Student Information System
-- Fund development of a single student information system for the University of Nebraska and the Nebraska State College System.

Postsecondary
-- Nebraska's higher education system should also be more accountable, more integrated and more efficient. The University of Nebraska, our state colleges and our community colleges can work together in a more cooperative manner. The University of Nebraska is a key component to Nebraska's future and they must redefine their priorities to reflect the education and financial challenges of the 21st century.

-- Increasing the college attendance rate is critical. Expanded enrollment means increased tuition revenue growth which is necessary given the fiscal realities of the state budget.

-- Increased enrollments and revenues to our colleges through innovation like the University of Nebraska at Omaha's differential tuition rate to attract more students to UNO are important.

New MexicoGovernor Bill Richardson's State of the State Address

Accountability--School Improvement
-- For those schools identified as needing improvement, we won't give a bad grade and walk away. Instead, we are going try to help these schools. We are going to apply new academic approaches. We are going to provide new incentives for success. And we are going to boost hands-on training for teachers.

Arts Education
-- Maintain commitment to the arts so it remains a key part of every child's education.

Early Learning
-- Create Pre-K opportunities for an additional 2,000 children, which will help us close the achievement gap – before it starts.

Finance--Facilities
-- Require any new higher education buildings to meet a higher standard of energy efficiency, and current buildings to lower their energy usage through efficiency improvements.

-- Invest another 211 million dollars to improve and modernize our elementary, middle and high schools.

-- Invest 152 million to build state of the art facilities for our university and college campuses.

Health
-- Continue progress on making sure every child has a healthy breakfast, mandatory physical education -- whether they live in an urban area or the most rural setting.

Postsecondary
-- Help scientists, physicians and researchers at the University of New Mexico unlock the potential of stem cell research—and help find the cures for our world's most deadly diseases.

-- Create the first dental school in New Mexico to address our state's gaps in oral health care.

Teaching Quality
-- Spend an additional 60-million dollars to continue to increase teacher and educational employee salaries.

New YorkGovernor Eliot Spitzer's State of the State Address

Accountability
-- This year, with the support of the Regents, our partners in this effort, we will take education accountability to the next level. We will set improvement targets for specific school districts, and for specific schools. We will track the progress of individual schools every single year, and we will intervene in districts and in schools that are still failing. Also see the Education Accountability Fact Sheet: http://www.ny.gov/governor/sos/fact_sheet6.html

Health
-- Fully fund the expansion of the Children's Health Insurance Program -- providing affordable coverage for every single child in this State.

-- Pass the Healthy Schools Act to take junk food out of schools. Ask Comptroller DiNapoli to help enforce the State's strong, but widely ignored, physical education requirements by including them in his regular school district audits.


Postsecondary, Community Colleges and Economic Development
-- Last year we focused on pre-school to grade twelve. This year, we must also look beyond high school to our colleges and universities.

-- Over the next five years, hire 2,000 new full-time faculty members for SUNY and CUNY, including 250 eminent scholars – the type of professors whose research draws grants and collaboration from around the globe, and whose stature lifts entire campuses.

-- Create an Innovation Fund for cutting-edge research at New York's public and private colleges, similar to the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. Supercharging cutting-edge academic research will also supercharge our innovation economy.

-- Invest in our community colleges, which train New Yorkers for high-skilled jobs and serve as the gateway to four-year colleges. For the community college students who want to continue their education by transferring to four-year SUNY and CUNY schools, make the process simple and seamless, and give them full credit for the academic courses they have successfully completed.

-- Move forward on the University of Buffalo's "2020" expansion as a centerpiece of our strategy to reinvigorate the economy of Western New York. When completed, the University's total student population will grow from 29,000 to almost 41,000. Over 7,000 students, faculty and staff will work and study on a new downtown campus for medicine and health sciences. UB will become an economic engine for Buffalo, and a flagship institution for a world class public university system.

-- Create a flagship at the other end our state, as well. Bring together the University at Stony Brook, and the world renowned Brookhaven and Cold Spring Harbor laboratories. The result will be a peerless cross-disciplinary research engine in the areas of cancer, neurobiology, plant genetics and bioinformatics. The economic benefit for Long Island will be tremendous. The chance for New York to lead the world will be unparalleled.

-- The finest private and public colleges and universities in America use the funds from permanent endowments to achieve excellence. If we are to join their ranks, we must do so as well. Higher education funding should no longer be a budgetary pawn or a yearly battle. It must be a permanent priority. Given the investments we must make and the sheer size of our higher education system, this endowment initially should be at least $4 billion, which would generate $200 million in operating funds each year.

-- Unlock some of the value of the New York State Lottery, either by taking in private investment or looking at other financing alternatives. As we do this, we will assure that the State continues to regulate all lottery games, and that we continue to receive the more than $2 billion annually for K to 12 education that the lottery now provides. Today's endowment dollars will be a down payment on tomorrow's dreams.

OklahomaGovernor Brad Henry's State of the State Address

Economic/Workforce Development
-- Continue funding the Oklahoma Bioenergy Center created last year, making Oklahoma a global leader in biofuels and bioenergy research by capitalizing on the cutting-edge work being conducted at Oklahoma University, Oklahoma State University and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation.

-- Ensure a permanent funding mechanism so the Opportunity Fund and EDGE Research Endowment can fund the research that will create high-tech, good-paying jobs for a diversified, dynamic Oklahoma (goal is create a $1 billion fund).

-- Build on the Oklahoma Creativity Project, which seeks to enhance both the cultural landscape and the entrepreneurial economy of Oklahoma.

Health
-- Pass legislation to double the physical education requirement to 120 minutes each week.

High School

-- Put the resources in place to help students sort through those issues that lead them to believe that quitting school is the only option and see them complete high school.

-- Create a graduation coach program so every student can succeed.

Postsecondary
-- Continue that momentum in higher education by fully funding endowed chairs and reducing their backlog in our colleges and universities.


Safety
-- Continue suipport for the CLASS Task Force to review security at college and CareerTech campuses.

School Year
-- Adopt the recommendations of Superintendent Sandy Garrett and the Time Reform Task Force and expand the school year by five days.

Teacher Compensation
-- Finish meeting the commitment to a five-year plan to raise teacher pay to match the regional average by this year.

http://www.governor.state.ok.us/stateofthestate2008.php
WashingtonGovernor Chris Gregoire's State of the State Address

Career-Technical
-- Continue to provide the opportunity for non-college-bound students to flourish by connecting motivated high-school kids to the trades.

Health
-- Cover all children with health insurance by 2010.

Safety/Student Discipline
-- Improve safety on college campuses.

Economic Development
-- Create a world-class, learner-focused, seamless education system that gives kids a chance to get a good job.

Financial Aid
-- Continue to make college more affordable by increasing the number of scholarships, and offering financial aid to more students. Make sure every young person in Washington knows that if they work hard, they will have the chance to compete with anyone, anywhere in the world, for jobs in the new global economy found right here in Washington.

Education and Training
-- Develop a program in which workers can invest in an account, with matching employer contributions, for further education and training.

Teaching Quality
-- Continue investment in teacher-excellence through support for increasing the number of teachers who attain national certification. A record number will go through the certification process this year, and next year we expect a near doubling of national certified teachers.

http://www.governor.wa.gov/speeches/speech-view.asp?SpeechSeq=85
West VirginiaGovernor Joe Manchin's State of the State Address

Accountability
-- Revoke the driver's licenses of students who are found to have committed serious offenses like assaulting a teacher or fellow student or bringing a dangerous weapon to school, and add a requirement that in order to obtain and keep a driver's license between the ages of 16 and 18, you must receive passing grades.

Drugs, Alcohol
-- Build upon the current success of Prevention Resource Officer Program, a cooperative effort between schools and law enforcement designed to put officers in schools to teach students about drug and safety issues and to recognize potential danger, prevent violence and respond to dangerous situations. Partner with local police and sheriff's departments to put Prevention Resource Officers in more schools in every county.

Economic/Workforce Development
-- Target higher education and work force development investments toward meeting the needs of the state's growing and emerging industries by creating "Bucks for Jobs." West Virginia must be a player in the 21st century world economy, and to do so we need to develop more intellectual and financial capital. "Bucks for Jobs" will achieve both these goals by leveraging smart, interconnected investments in economic development, higher education and work force training. A "Bucks for Brains" initiative, using one-time surplus monies, will create a $50 million endowment fund for our two research universities, WVU and Marshall, to stimulate world-class research and development and attract venture capital, which will eventually lead to jobs in emerging high-tech, high-wage industries. The state's investment will be matched, dollar for dollar, by private donations, resulting in sizable funds that will strengthen our most-promising research departments – ultimately leading to business spinoffs, new patents and job creation. Make sure that the money we're already spending on work force training is being accessed by the businesses that need it and that all businesses in our state know about "Training Bucks" and how to get them.

-- Make a major investment in the development of two state-of-the-art advanced technical centers. These centers will offer training that is specialized to meet the needs of existing businesses as well as those new businesses that we are now attracting to the state, and they will collaborate directly with industry to design and deliver high-quality instruction.

-- Invest in existing programs at community and technical colleges to fill the growing need for workers in allied health fields (from nurses to dental assistants, emergency medical technicians, pharmacy workers and surgery technicians). This investment will result in approximately 1,000 new allied health field graduates every year in West Virginia beginning in 2010.

-- Ask the Promise Scholarship board to develop a rule requiring recipients to work in West Virginia following graduation as a condition of not having to pay back the Promise Scholarship.

-- Add "payback" requirements for those new state employees who receive additional state-paid training, such as our State Police officers, pilots, engineers and others. Too often, we are spending state dollars to provide training for these new employees only to have them then leave us for other job opportunities outside of state government once their training is complete.

Health
-- Develop in our schools Kids First, a kindergarten health screening program. Through the use of administrative funds from the State Children's Health Insurance Program,
West Virginia will establish a health services initiative that is the first in the nation to ensure every uninsured child entering kindergarten has a wellness screening prior to starting school.

Teacher Compensation
-- Require all of our counties to use 100 percent of the extra School Aid Formula money for classroom teachers' salaries.

Safety/Student Discipline
-- Improve the environment that our classroom teachers currently work in and our children currently learn in. The 21st Century Jobs Cabinet has been asked to develop the "West Virginia Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for Learning." The Bill of Rights will set standards both for the rights and responsibilities of students while in school and the authority of teachers to protect those rights and enforce those responsibilities.

-- Go a step further with the state's requirement that districts have anti-bullying plans in place. Establish a commission to thoroughly review the anti-bullying practices of our schools and recommend the best ways to expand our efforts to identify and stop dangerous and bullying behavior before it becomes a threat, as well as how to best deal with disruptive students during the school day.

WisconsinGovernor Jim Doyle's State of the State Address

Economic Development
-- Build an educated workforce ready to compete around the world.

Financial Aid
-- Continue to make college affordable by continuing to help students know that if they do their part there will be an opportunity in higher education for them. Continue to advance the Wisconsin Covenant. For students who are willing to work hard, play by the rules, and make the grade, there will be an opportunity in higher education for them.

Health
-- Launch BadgerCare Plus and fulfill our moral obligation to every child in this state by providing every single child the health care they need at a price their family can afford.

-- Help families who struggle with autism by requiring insurance companies to cover the cost of autism treatment. 

High School
-- Pass legislation to make a third year of math and a third year of science mandatory for high school graduation.

Teacher Compensation
-- Invest in a compensation system that rewards teachers who take on the hardest assignments, who advance their skills, and who help their students achieve success.
