All US public schools should receive the same funding based on the amount of enrolled students
All property taxes that would initially go to the local school district should be nationally divided between all US public schools.
If previously wealthy school districts funding needs aren’t being met, the education budget should be nationally increased, to provide the same public school education for all children in attendance.
Low test scores should never decrease funding.
Schools should not receive funding based on the success of their students.
Schools with high rates of failure should receive special attention to bring them back up to par with the rest of the public education system.
All students should have safe and reliable transportation to their public school if they cannot make the walk to school due to disability or distance.
All students should receive a free lunch and breakfast if they want it while at school. These meals should meet the nutritional needs of the students.
A public school should never rent out equipment, musical instruments, supplies, etc.
Students should never pay for things the school already owns.
If a public school demands its students wear uniforms then the school should buy the uniforms for their students.
If a public school demands certain supplies the public school should provide said supplies to all students.
All public school students should have healthcare; if they don’t already have it then the moment they are enrolled in school they should be given it for free by the state. Poor attendance from students should never put them in juvi, or other detention centers for youths.
Poor attendance from students should never decrease funding of a school.
All students with poor attendance should have special academic and medical attention paid to them to solve the problem of why they cannot or will not show up to school.
All public schools should have on staff at least one professional nurse practitioner and one professional therapist, both specializing in the ages of students at the school.
All public schools should have several caseworkers to help parents navigate the bureaucratic paperwork hell.
All schools should have their staff as diverse as their student body; schools with mostly black students should never have 100% white teachers.
Y'all ever realize just how fucking low the bar is and how far under it we’ve dug?
