Position Papers
Solving the Facilities Crisis Without a Local Bond
Creative solutions to expand capacity of the overcrowded schools in Folsom include grade reconfiguration.
Improving the Performance of our Public Schools
We should evaluate the effectiveness of our school programs, change the ones that are not working and focus on the ones that do work. Test scores are up in the FCUSD, a positive trend, but we need to identify why some students fall behind. If we can find ways to motivate youngsters to succeed, we will be taking a giant step toward restoring the credibility of California public schools and all of us will benefit. College bound achievers need to challenged more.
