URGE YOUR LEGISLATORS —
SUPPORT LEGISLATION TO:

PREVENT DISCRIMINATION
  1. No financial or other disadvantage may be directed toward any business as a consequence of hiring a charter, private or home school graduate.
  2. No financial advantage or incentive may be offered by the state, or any state agency, in order to encourage the hiring of graduates holding state-sponsored credentials or "skill certificates" over graduates who choose not to participate in such state-sponsored credentialing programs.
  3. No business may discriminate against any other business on the basis of participation or nonparticipation in STW, vocational, career and technical programs.
  4. No post-secondary educational institute may discriminate against any charter, private or home-school graduate in regard to admission or financial aid.
  5. Freedom of conscience clause: No district may refuse employment or promotion based on attitudes, values, beliefs or worldview. No district may discriminate against any student for promotion or grading based on attitudes, values, beliefs or worldview.

SUPPORT A RETURN TO REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT

  1. Non-elected governing boards would be prohibited from superintending or managing public schools, adopting rules for their organization, government and instruction, keeping registers, or prescribing textbooks, courses of study or curriculum.
  2. The state may not mandate any specific curriculum, means of assessment, scoring method, performance package, or pedagogy upon a local district contrary to the desire of locally elected school boards.

SUPPORT DATA PRIVACY

1. No teacher, school, or agency of the state may, without the written permission of the parent or legal guardian of a student, collect, compile, retain, or distribute information of a personal nature in any form or for any purpose whatsoever. Personal information includes, but is not limited to: medical, psychological, family, employment, membership, religious affiliation, portfolio assessment or any information that includes subjectively measured attitudes, values, beliefs, or worldview perspectives.
