  Art Burton's 3-Step Plan to raise the level of care in Richmond city schools  


Equality in Education
As your School Board Representative, it will be my main objective to see that all children receive a fair chance at succeeding. I will work to create a beneficial and professional learning environment where our children will be able to function successfully in today’s society. The current disparity found in our schools can no longer be accepted. I will work with the Board to provide a full spectrum of courses in all schools, regardless of their location, to include “Science, Math, Technology, Engineering, Cultural Arts, Critical Foreign Languages and Sports.”


Accountability to the Community
As your Representative, I will encourage parent participation by
   
listening to your concerns. I will open an Office of Education in the district that will assist in the development of parent groups. I will become your voice on the School Board. Every child will be regarded as if they were my own.

Safe and Clean Schools
As your School Board Representative, I will work to ensure that school facilities are held to the highest standards. Children labeled as “trouble” will no longer be treated as throw-away commodities. Schools will build children, families and communities. I will work with all City, School Board and Community Agencies to raise the level of care that our children receive.


My past seven years of work
on educational issues has put me
in the position to know the
issues facing the community.
I have the ability to address
school issues in such a
way that inspires participation, ownership, and responsibility in
the entire community.
