PLEDGE TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN
This pledge represents my commitment to ensure America’s schoolchildren receive the highest quality public education and make certain that my schools continue to fulfill their essential role in our communities. Through my efforts in Congress, I pledge to actively support and collaborate with my local school boards to promote excellence and equity in raising student achievement.
As a Member of Congress, I pledge to work and vote to:
- Improve the No Child Left Behind Act to give my school district(s) better measures for student and school performance, and the support needed to close the achievement gap.
- Help my school district(s) meet the needs of students with disabilities by supporting the funding goals of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).
- Support school readiness programs for children entering kindergarten in my school district(s).
- Help my school district(s) to attract, train and retain highly qualified and effective teachers.
- Help my school district(s) to provide all students with 21st Century skills and knowledge, including math, science and technology.
