What People Are Saying

We've shifted money from administration to the classroom. But it's not enough. I want to go beyond the national average of 62 percent and reach a higher standard – 65 percent of the money in the classroom.

Governor Bill Richardson
New Mexico

Chris Patterson
Research Director
Texas Public Policy Foundation

"The First Class Education Initiative allows taxpayer dollars to directly reach the children instead of school bureaucrats. Voters can AND will send a powerful message to union leadership. Opposition to this measure to increase funding for classroom instruction and more qualified educators will be detrimental to their general membership."

Grover Norquist
President of Americans for Tax Reform

"Far too much of the taxpayers' hard-earned money is wasted in America's public schools on bloated bureaucracies, duplicative administrative overhead, and other non-instructional spending. It's time more of the taxpayers money actually reached classrooms, where children are taught and where education actually takes place. Education First is advancing a simple idea that could revolutionize education in America: Spend money in the classroom!"

David A. Keene
Chairman
American Conservative Union

"As we increase K-12 funding this year, we also want to make sure the money is well spent..." "...Requiring that at least 65 percent of funding be spent in the classroom is a common sense idea that will help ensure better accountability in our schools.”

Governor Tim Pawlenty
Minnesota

"The future of our nation rests solely on the shoulders of our children. First Class Education is taking the proactive steps necessary to make sure that we are doing all that we can on the state level to provide the resources necessary for our schools to succeed in giving our youth the educational foundation needed to succeed as future leaders."

Alvin Williams
President of Black America's Political Action Committee

“Making classroom spending a priority and providing our hardworking teachers with more classroom resources will give our students the best opportunity to reach their fullest potential."

Governor Sonny Perdue
Georgia
