WEAC's Framework for Successful Schools

WEAC members are using this Framework to help measure each candidate’s commitment to legislative goals. Each item in the Legislative Agenda is carefully crafted to accomplish these goals. The 97-page Legislative Agenda contains a policy paper, actual draft legislation and a statement of fiscal estimate for 11 specific proposals. Member volunteers are analyzing the records of incumbents and questioning other candidates to determine the level of their support for the goals outlined in this Framework and the specific items outlined in the Legislative Agenda.
