Issues: Education
With 2009 California Standardized Test scores in my district reflecting proficiency rates as low as 4% in English-Language Arts, and 17% in Math, it is long past time that the students in my district receive the same quality education as is in more affluent parts of the state.
What will help bring this to a realization is what always works in other areas: COMPETITION!! More than 50% of the high schools students drop out in my district. This is unacceptable and I will work to restore California to its previous #1 education ranking in the country.
