Leaping Ahead in Education
62.7% of every county dollar budgeted is spent on the public schools. On the basis of dollars and cents, it is the county’s #1 priority
Delegate Levi’s Record of Action
Delegate Levi has a record of proposing real solutions to the education issues preventing Prince George’s County from making the leap ahead. In Annapolis, she passed laws on truancy, won grant dollars and launched the Restore Respect at School Campaign. That campaign combines legislation1 , a public education campaign, and a new advanced math project funded by grant dollars2.
In order to for Prince George’s County to see dramatic improvements in their neighborhood schools, it is critical that parents, families and communities - all three - help address three key issues:
- School Discipline
- Chronic Absenteeism/Truancy
- Out-of-School Learning
3 Steps:
Step 1: Cut School Suspensions in Half
Step 2: Cut School Absenteeism in Half
Step 3: Produce 50% More Students who are "Advanced"
