Campaign themes
2014
Payne's campaign website listed his themes for 2014:
| “ | Increase program offerings (i.e. advanced placement courses) at underserved schools in the district.
Establish a magnet school within the school system to attract high achieving students and increased parent involvement to underserved schools. Advocate for changes that will guarantee a high quality education at all schools rather than just some schools. Adjust school start time to be consistent with times that research suggests students learn best. Hire new superintendent who will continue successes of prior superintendent: increased graduation rate, lower dropout rate, and increased participation in advanced courses. Implement policies that will attract highly qualified teachers and administrators to the Alamance-Burlington School System. |
