Campaign website

Bollinger’s campaign website stated the following:

Student Learning

  • EVERY child can learn and should be provided opportunities to be successful learners.
  • What works for one student, doesn't work for all.
  • Students should feel safe in school, enabling them to concentrate on their education.
  • Students should understand what they are learning, the purpose behind it, and monitor their progress in the learning process.
  • Our educational system should foster the development of students' skills for critical analysis and problem-solving both independently and collaboratively.

Parents

  • Parents are vital participants in the education of their children and in the public education system.
  • It is important for schools to collaborate with parents to identify needs and ensure that all individual student needs are met.
  • Parent volunteers in classrooms, through PTA, and on the School Community Council are essential partners to develop a high functioning school
  • Parents should have the freedom of influence and choice in education.

Educators

  • Supporting and retaining educators should be a priority of each school and district.
  • Educators should be trusted and respected by allowing a balance of the art and science of teaching.
  • Teacher leaders should be provided opportunities and compensation to assist in ongoing professional development of educators.

Funding

  • Earmarked funding grants need to be reviewed and improved to avoid the unintentional consequences of perpetual new programs and curriculums.
  • Public education should be fully funded to cover growth, inflation, and resources needed to support and retain teachers.
  • Public taxpayer dollars should stay in public schools for the purpose of achieving fiscally conservative use of funding.

Policy

  • Policymakers should carefully examine policies and seek ways to support schools.
  • Policy should provide reduced government oversight and prompt increased local control.
  • Educational policy should be driven by what is best for kids and not partisan agendas.[2]
