Re: Prioritization of Education Policy Recommendations
Date: December 27, 2010
Attached is a chart that provides the prioritization of the key recommendations from the Education Policy Working Group. Please
note that we have provided separate schedules for Pre-K-12 and Higher Education.
It is also important to note that while some recommendations were put into the Short Term category, work on many of these issues can
and should begin immediately. For example, recommendations on the revision of the education funding formula, examining options
for more instructional time, and providing districts more latitude in dealing with low performing schools are all critically important.
However, they all require substantial research and time to develop and it was felt that it would not be possible to have a satisfactory
final product for any of these recommendations within the timeframe of the upcoming legislative session.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
