for 2006 Pennsylvania Primary Election Legislative Candidates
1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Pennsylvania's system of funding public education? What should the Pennsylvania Legislature do, if anything, to improve the system of funding public education? (75 words or less) Set up a fact finding system and find out what is wrong and fix it. 2. How should the Pennsylvania Legislature assist school districts to meet the requirements of Pennsylvania's regulations for academic standards and graduation requirements as well as the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that expects every student to demonstrate proficiencies on state assessments in reading, math and science by 2014, and for all schools to demonstrate "adequate yearly progress" (required by NCLB) toward that goal? (75 words or less) Set up a policy to help those that need to get their grades up by making it mandatory for them to do longer hours and more days of school, not just move them up and out. 3.

(75 words or less) Same as #1. 5. What is your vision of the public education opportunity that should be available to every child in Pennsylvania and what will you do to accomplish that goal? (75 words or less) I would like to see that public education force to teach each and every child by having the help to enforce it. 6. Is there anything else that you will do to strengthen Pennsylvania's public education system? (75 words or less) Keep better track on the teachers and students and see where help is needed.
