AWAKE AMERICA SURVEY SCHOOL BOARD. QUESTIONNAIRE FOR SAN ANTONIO IN MAY 2012 Judson ISD Northside ISD San Antonio ISD Schertz-Ciblio ISD Southside ISD Southwest ISD S=Support O=Oppose U=Undecided

Awake America School Board Survey
1 Do you believe ALL School Board Members should be elected by the people instead of some appointed by the Mayor?
2 Would you seek a good plan to decrease student drop-out rates in SA?
3 With cuts in Education, would you seek to prioritize the money left… into teachers, students and programs and cut back on building programs?
4 Would you support the Phonics Program in Reading rather than the “Holistic” where First Graders need to memorize 180,000 Site Words?
5 Would you support the Traditional Values in the textbooks, curriculum and programs rather than the Liberal viewpoints?
6 Would support keeping money in most Elective Programs like PE, Music, Athletic, Librarian, Nurse, Counselor (all designed to keep students in school) while combining some Self-Contained Special Education Classrooms and cutting way down on budget for materials and equipment.
7 Would you agree that there is too much time for testing and very little time for teaching Academics; to cut back on the Benchmarks (Save money) and just do the TAKS in order to spend that time teaching? (Too many tests and too little teaching time).(Too much time wasted the whole day for students who finish the tests and are waiting for a few others to finish—just move those still testing to another room the second half of day.)
8 Do you agree that since Teachers are told to teach from the tests; this causes the students to have a very poor foundation to learn any concept [particularly in Math] by bouncing around to different concepts and not building upon a firm foundation?
