Recently, GPS school board President Staci Burk has been
supporting HB2256. In summary, this
would allow public school money to go to Private or Religious schools. This is a misguided attempt to improve
education by offering additional choice.
If I come home one night and find my bathtub leaking, I
could do what this bill suggests and install another bathtub or I could fix the
leak in the one I have.
According to the ADE website, there are currently 45 schools
in Gilbert that offer 7th grade.
Latest
ratings - A – 13 B – 11 C – 8 D
– 4 F -1 NR – 8
We don’t need a 46th or 47th
alternative for our children. What we
need to do is work together to improve the C, D and F schools that we already have. However, improving these schools is much
harder work than waving the school choice flag.
Please let Ms. Burk and our legislators know that you want
them to spend their time working on specific actions that actually improve
education.
