Voters' Guide for 2008 Elections

Calvert Co. District 2 BD/ ED Candidate Rane Franklin Responses To Questions A7,A8,A9(Continued):

A7 CURRICULUM- I will work with the Board to approve textbooks that meet and exceed MBE instructional guidelines, continue to improve our AP,IB,and Honors course offerings, and support Special Education students and staff to develop strategies to diminish educational deficiencies.

A8 ENVIRONMENT- I support the efforts of our Superintendent to reduce energy consumption throughout the system. Turning off lights and using energy efficient bulbs and fixtures will affect our budget bottom line. I will also look for ways to enhance our recycling efforts and encourage use of renewable energy whenever possible.

A9 EXERCISE CLASSES- Physical education is important to the mind and to the body. Gym classes and as much outdoor activity as weather permits, can be a significant part of that education. As a BOE member I will push to revisit standing policy to be sure they are relevant to our children's needs.
