Title: Charter Schooling Done Right
Sponsors: Joyelle Owens, WV, Moderate Liberal, Loreal Hawk, MD, Moderate Liberal

Purpose of Bill: The purpose of the bill is to try to extend the time given for Charter Schooling Done Right to run to keep children in school and to also extend the money given to give the teachers and children supplies that is desperately needed in inner- city schools. We would like to provide more supplies for children and more supplies for teachers to give the students a better learning environment and education. If students go to a charter school, they may not be there for long because of only a 3 year marking period before going under inspection to see if you could close the school down. I would like to extend the amount of time for a charter school from 3 years to 6 years. Giving the extension from 3 to six years ensures that children in high school or any other school system can finish without having to worry about going to a new school or going to a new overcrowded school. I would like to accomplish these goals by increasing the tax levees and taking the money that was used to close down schools into opening new ones. The taxes on these areas if passed would only increase by 0.2%.

Eligibility: This bill is for:

Any child from pre k to senior year in high school that goes to school

Any person with the occupation of a teacher can work in these schools

 * The Board of Education will enforce the bill
 * The bill will be in effect for 10 years for each charter school is built, then going under investigation to see if the opening of the school is needed.
 * The teacher salary is decided by the board of education.

Fiscal impact:
Equipment: Building a school from elementary to high school costs: $6,114,425-$17,945,690 (Including construction workers, architects, etc.) > Labor: Teachers can be paid an average of 5,040,000 a year > Marketing: 8,000,000 dollars to host commercials on Fox, NBC, and local channels for a 30 second spot nationally to inform people on this issue. > Transportation: 5,845,000 dollars a year to open busses for approximately 10,000 children to and from school for a year. > Total: 611,442,544,800,000 dollars for one school in this district I am endorsing Pres. Barack Obama for the Presidential Election of 2012. I think that Pres. Obama has done very well managing the country these past three years and has been setting in moition acts and amnedments to give our country more jobs and steer us out of our recession. I also think that he should President for another term because we have not seen the full effects of what the President has done yet. In the next four years after his term another President could be getting the benefits and credit for Obama's work that he had set in right before the end of his Presidency. Four years is not enough time to try to fix our country. We have numerous problems that have to be fixed and numerous bills that would have to be passed into Congress. We should give Pres. Obama another term to see what he has really done for our country, because most of the effects from the bills that he has vetoed will not be shown until after his four years.
 * Energy Resources: Average of about 2,000,000 dollars a per year for one school, 6,000,000 dollars a year to keep an elementary school, intermediate school, and high school open

One of the many reasons you may want to visit Maryland, is to see a Baltimore Ravens game during football seasons, They could be your favorite team or the opposing team could be playing away in Baltimore. You may also want to visit in the city Baltimore because they have the biggest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic for incoming immigrants who would like to travel through the town. You could also want to visit Annapolis, Maryland for a look at their state house, the oldest legislative building in the the United States.You might also temprarily vist to go see your family and friends who go to St. John's College in Annapolis. You may also want to visit Maryland to climb or drive on the tallest mountain in the state, Backbone Mountain. Standing at 3,360 feet tall, it has a trail for jeep cars so even if you don't want to climb, you can still drive to the top.

The natural resources of Maryland consist of mostly seafood, dairy products, cattle, and corn. They have abundant resources of seafood because they are surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay.The land in Maryland is fertile which hosts for good corn and other products like soybeans and grazing for cattle and cows which leads us to our dairy products. The milk from cows can make into dozens of other things like butter, yogurt, and cheese.

Mock Congress Issues: Protect Your Head Don't End up Dead: I am pro for this bill because of the simple fact that I want children and adults to be safe when playing football. This bill mandates the use of a special helmet to decrease the chance for comas. The only thing that I would like to add to thisbill, is that I would like them to support more sports on it. More than just football can cause concussions.

Second Hand Smoke Act: I am against this bill for the simple fact that it violates the personal rights of citizens. It limits people from being able to smoke in their own car if a child is present. In some cases this bill might help the small children, but in most others, it doesn't help at all. It is violating a smokers' rights to smoke wherever they can. They have already prohibited smoking restaurants and most public places, and if this bill was passed, it would take away their rights to smoke in their own care.

Mandatory Study Hall: I am against this bill because a mandatory study hall is not what every student wants. Some students don't take a course load to focus on more classes and get ahead so that they might be able to take electives. If this bill passed, a student who wants to further their education by taking another, challenging class, will have to take a study hall instead. Yes, study halls are helpful,but it should be up to the students to make their own decision on a study hall, they should not be forced.
