Public funds belong in public schools. Free public education has been a great equitable equalizer. A strong public education system is good for our nation.
I am a retired private school administrator and am completely against public money going to private schools. Unlike public schools, private schools do not need to accept all children, do not need to meet all learning challenges, and do not need to adhere to testing standards. To me, this would be the equivalent of giving people vouchers to join private golf clubs because they choose not to use the public course. Any good private school is going to charge more in tuition than what the vouchers provide so this will be subsidizing wealthy families not giving the average family more choices. It is also problematic for rural residents where private schools are not available. Don’t divert my tax dollars to private education.
As someone who deeply cares about modernizing education in our digital age, I strongly support this petition to update Clinton High School's technology policies and email domain system. Having seen similar issues in schools across the country, I believe addressing these technology restrictions is crucial for student success in today's world.
Students everywhere need access to relevant educational resources and tools to stay competitive and prepare for their futures. Overly restrictive technology policies can hinder research capabilities and limit access to valuable learning materials that are essential for modern education. When schools block too many legitimate educational websites and applications, it creates unnecessary barriers to learning and collaboration.
The email domain issue is particularly concerning, as it can prevent students from fully participating in educational opportunities. Many academic platforms and programs require school email verification, and outdated or non-standard email domains can create unnecessary complications for students trying to access these resources.
While online safety is important, many schools have successfully found ways to protect students while providing appropriate access to digital resources. A balanced approach to technology access has become standard practice in modern education.
I encourage Clinton High School's administration to consider:
1. Updating the website filtering system to better align with current educational needs
2. Modernizing the school email domain
3. Implementing technology policies that protect students while supporting their educational goals
Thank you for considering these important changes that could significantly improve the educational experience for Clinton High School students.
I've been a part of the Renaissance at Fischer community for 16 years. I love being a part of our community and closing our school will leave a void that cant be filled. Renaissance was started by parents, educators and community members who wanted a different educational model. I ask the ARUSD School Board to please keep Renaissance at Fischer open and to hold the district accountable for misleading and misrepresenting the school consolidation committee's recommendation. Renaissance at fischer was not on the list of schools recommended by the committee to close and i ask the ARUSD school board to hold the district staff accountable for censoring and misrepresenting the committee's voice.
As an east side native, ARUSD alum, and proud RAF teacher, I love this school community and everything that it stands for. Keep RAF alive, for our students, families, staff, and community.
I went to this school back in 2011 for my middle school years and cannot thank the school method and my amazing teachers enough for how much they taught me. Both in academics and values. I tend to highlight my time here and the best of my academic journey. I’m studying now at Berkeley towards my masters and owe it to the amazing teachers at Renaissance that pushed me forward and believed in me. They were truly like family 💙
This school changed the way I viewed myself and the people here so obviously I don't wanna see my old middle school close down. Also I still have to visit the school after I finish my highschool years, so please for me and the teachers who have jobs here please don't shut down the best school in the Arusd
I personally went to Renaissance and I loved everything about it I was so happy there being a troubled teen. They gave me a second opportunity. Renaissance makes a big difference.
