2005 Voter Survey

A statewide poll of 500 voters revealed that support of the WASL standards and the new graduation requirements is strong. Eighty percent of our citizens support increased academic expectations of students. Seventy percent want graduation requirements to include an exit exam, and their support rises when they learn students will have several opportunities to take the test and that extra options exist for special education students. There is a universal belief that every student must demonstrate basic skills in reading, writing and math to graduate, and that we have a responsibility to help ALL children gain these skills, regardless of their income or ethnicity.
