What’ll It Take to Catch Up?
First, Keep the Promise
1. Restore the Governor’s $38MM budget cut.
2. Restore the Legislature’s budget cut.
3. Fund 2014’s House Bill 278.

What’ll It Take to Catch Up?
Secondly, Work Harder
Goal: Raise reading skills in grades 1 to 8 by an average one-half grade level.
How: Consider 50% more reading instruction with about 10% additional teaching time.

NAACP’s Expectations:
• Schools and parents are responsible for catching-up their students.
• Legislature and Governor are accountable for proficiency gains.
“Who you gonna call?”
Get more gain for our students like some other states.
