There are many educational issues facing Foster voters this year. Some, such as taxes, regionalization, building projects, and contract negotiations are primarily local issues. Others, such as standards, accountability, and the No Child Left Behind act are national issues that affect us locally. As candidates, we have opinions regarding these issues, and we'll do our best to present and discuss everyone's views. Since we hope to be elected to represent you, we need to know your views. Please review our positions (just select an issue from the popup menu to the left) and then complete our surveys to let us know where you agree and disagree. We've provided links so that you may download a printable version of each of our position papers. We've also included some background information that will help you understand the history behind some of these issues. (See Facts & Figures.) |
