PROPS: Only one way to go

| October 24, 2012 9:00 PM

I will vote yes on Prop 1, 2 and 3 and here’s why: Idaho’s education needs to move forward, not backward. I believe teachers don’t need tenure to be effective. So I will vote “Yes” on Prop 1.

I believe that teachers should be better compensated and pay for performance is the way to increase teacher compensation. I will be voting “Yes” on Prop 2.

I believe that every child in Idaho deserves the best tools for the classroom. I also like that Idaho seniors can take up to 36 college credits paid for by the state their senior year because of the education reform laws. I will vote “Yes” on Prop 3.

Those who are against education reform are out of ideas. They haven’t brought solutions to the table. I want opportunities for students. I will vote Yes for students on Nov. 6.
