- Solving the Facilities Crisis Without a Local Bond
-
Creative solutions to expand capacity of the overcrowded schools in Folsom include grade reconfiguration.
- Improving the Performance of our Public Schools
-
We should evaluate the effectiveness of our school programs, change the ones that are not working and focus on the ones that do work. Test scores are up in the FCUSD, a positive trend, but we need to identify why some students fall behind. If we can find ways to motivate youngsters to succeed, we will be taking a giant step toward restoring the credibility of California public schools and all of us will benefit. College bound achievers need to challenged more.
