Making Afterschool an Election Issue in 2012
The Afterschool Alliance has released updated versions of its Campaign Toolkit and its Candidate’s Guide to Afterschool. Particularly during presidential election cycles, voters’ concerns are brought to the forefront of the public debate and widely discussed in the media. But what concerns will be raised? Whose voices will be heard? What will candidates and pundits focus on? It is the voices of people in local communities that drive candidates’ campaigns.
Citizen Questions for Candidates
The Center for the Future of Arizona has compiled a set of questions and observations directly from citizens of Arizona addressing the issues that matter to you including the economy, health care, immigration, and most importantly, education. The nearly 800 questions should be directed at politicians to gain a clear and sincere perspective on their vision, priorities, politics and approach. We hope you will use this resource to become an advocate for Arizona's children and yourself.
Afterschool-specific Questions for Candidates
Considering most Arizona students are in school only 27% of the day, what role can quality afterschool programs play in improving students’ academic success?
Arts education continues to be diminished during the formal school day as school districts are forced to put more time and emphasis on student success in reading, math and science. How can quality afterschool programs be used to ensure that our students receive the arts education they require to foster creativity and artistic expression?
