For the last twelve years, No Child Left Behind and Race To The Top education policies have created a standardized education that fails to prepare students for the responsibilities of life after high school or the challenges our generation will face.

We ask for you to end statewide "high stakes" standardized testing and put the funds and efforts into creating a holistic education that prepares students for their civic and environmental responsibilities, allows them to pursue their individual passions, ends the school-to-prision pipleline, and gives students more input into their curriculum and schools.
