There IS
a better way!

The Monroe County Education Coalition (MCEC) supports
holding the line on property taxes
by maintaining levels of state aid needed to conform to state mandates. 

 

Proposals to cap property taxes without eliminating the mandates that drive increases in school budgets will have the effect of destroying our system of public education.

 

MCEC recommends several reasonable alternatives to a property tax cap in its position paper, Real Property Tax Relief That Won't Hurt Kids.

      NCLB & Our Students

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was created to insure
that all American children were successful learners.
   To reach this goal, the law penalizes schools
in which all children are not always successful.
   Federal funds that were promised to cover the law's expenses have not materialized.

      To learn more about how this law affects your children and how Congress
should revise it, read these documents:
 
      Joint Organizational Statement on No Child Left Behind Act (March 2007)
     Hundreds of national groups--education, civil rights, faith-based, children's advocacy, and disability--
     have signed a statement describing how the NCLB law must be changed.
 

       Refine NCLB so No Child is Left Behind
      This statement by Monroe County School Boards Association compares the intended benefits
     with actual results, and recommends changes to improve the law.
