A Jump start to America’s Education __Sponsors Name__- Sarah Janoch, MI, Moderate Emily Gill, MO, Moderate Conservative Garret Aini, CO, Moderate

__Purpose__- The United States has just been ranked 14th out of the World in education for 2011. Our goal is to improve America’s education, and get America back on top. This could be beneficial to our country because our technology compared to other countries is not as advanced. If our education improves, our country will become more advanced in technology too. In order to improve America's education we will start our children’s education earlier, by making preschool mandatory. This will give America a one year lead on education from other countries. Therefore, making preschool mandatory will make other grades’ curriculum be a step ahead of what it is now. Making preschool mandatory will improve the United State's education.

__Eligibility__-
 * 1) Give America another opportunity for jobs

This additional building per to public school; will be supported by the government, which will be paid by your tax dollars.
 * 2) All students who have not started Kindergarten by 2014 school year will be put into effect of this bill
 * 3) There will be positive benefits from this bill because children will be starting their education earlier, which means the curriculum will be one grade level ahead. Plus, with The No Child left Behind Act the curriculum will be improved even more.
