- Why I Oppose Non-Academic / Medical Counselors at Middle Schools
-
I oppose the hiring of non-academic / medical counselrs at middle schools because we have sufficient academic counselors, we have no state mandate or funding for non-academic / medical couselors, and I do not want the schools providing medical psychiatric or psychological care without direct parental involvement and consent, without properly licensed professionals on staff, and without common consent on what defines good mental health.
- Why I Support Restrictions on Lifetime Retirement Benefits
-
Our district is roughly $30 million in debt for lifetime retirement benefits. We are required by the state to pay for this debt by 2007. Instead of reducing educational programs to pay for it, I propose reducing retirement benefits and linking the amount of retirement benefits to time spent in our district.
- Why I Support Restructuring Special Education
-
Our district spends roughly $7 million more on special education students than is provided by the state. We must reduce this deficit by restructuring how special educations services are provided. This will require negotiating new pay scales with the union, bringing these services in house, creating a special education pre-school, and gaining parent & community support for the program.
