How Can You Help Modernize America's
Schools for the 21st Century?

* Support efforts to renovate, modernize and construct schools. Many are overcrowded and have out-of-date classrooms.
* Support proposals to reduce class size in order to give children more individual attention.
* Assist with efforts to give students and teachers access to computers and technology in the classroom.

* Help to make schools violence- and drug-free.
* Support efforts to keep schools open after regular hours as safe havens to enhance learning through access to computers, arts, music, tutoring, supervised recreation and community service.
* Help schools to establish meaningful standards for what students should be expected to learn.
