The Mission for Education Elevation USA

Dismantle the Common Core and close all loopholes allowing for authoritarian curricular control in the future.
Demand transparency and accountability at all levels.
Establish minimum compensation at a 7% increase per year for three years for all teachers working in the secondary education system. Fund this with the savings from a three-year twilight campaign to reduce and eventually remove all governmentally mandated standardized testing and disproportionate, unsustainable pensions.
Incentivize parent participation in middle and high schools with financial inducements and public empowerment.
Encourage local educators to reintegrate non-dogmatic spiritual principles into public school curricula.
Develop a non-stigmatized track with viable career-training options in trade schools for students who self-determine that they wish to pursue non-academic lives rather than complete current high school requirements.
