FINANCE
We support legislation that will:

• Allow school districts to retain revenue collected from increasing property values
• Add an inflation index to current funding formulas
• Give local school boards access of up to four cents taxing authority per biennium without calling for a rollback election
• Provide funding necessary to implement and maintain state mandates. 

ACCOUNTABILITY
We support legislation to modify the current accountability system that will:

• Reduce the complexity of the system 
• Recognize growth in student performance as part of the rating system
• Align with the federal accountability system

GOVERNANCE

• We support legislative action that preserves local control and the elected school boards’ responsibility to govern and oversee the management of their school districts.

PERSONNEL

• We support legislation to provide additional dollars for public education employees’ compensation and benefits as long as it is sustainable and does not reduce the total funding available for public education.

SCHOOL CHOICE

• We oppose legislation that takes public tax dollars from public schools; programs like tuition tax credits, special student allowances, vouchers, or any other similar programs. 

STUDENTS
We support legislation that will:

• Establish foundation formula funding for full-day pre-kindergarten at local district discretion
• Add/expand Career and Technology Education as an additional recommended high school program
• Fully fund programs that will provide interventions and curriculum for at-risk students to reduce dropout rates

TECHNOLOGY

• We support legislation that will provide districts with necessary funds for state mandated online testing.
