I am working on an amendment to extend section three into the realm of super, special, awesome audacity.

Nobody could dispute your audacity, Yankee....

That basically the base idea, now the details. Funding, structure, name (could teach for Atlasia encompass this?) and the exact details of the financial incentive (is there a better incentive? what is it?) Thoughts?

I lost my first copy of this because of a browser issue.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I like that, Yankee. Couldn't we fold this duty into the AIT? Or would that be a little difficult considering the AIT isn't exactly linked with government?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It was an idea I got back in December from reading Bill Bradley's "The New American Story", that basically laid out a Job/Peace Corps like organization that took well performing graduates and sent these young, idealistic, new teachers into the worst schools as a means of trying to attract a more diverse student body to them.

So we could organize it somewhat along those lines, it being semi-independent or whatever. The funding part might thus be difficult. We should try to incorporate regional management of the funds and the DoIA into the funding structure as well.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Come on folks, lets here some ideas, and try to push this a little farther.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I strongly support the G.E.T. Act and look forward to voting for it

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Franzl's amendment has passed by the way.


You people are of little help you know.

We can't all be quite as audacious as you, Yankee

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

How is this then? Now all that I am unsure about is the exact money.

I may be wrong, but wouldn't $800 billion "unbalance" the budget?

I may be wrong, but wouldn't $800 billion "unbalance" the budget?

That is why is says $800 million, not billion.

If the numbers are too much or too low then lets hammer them out and get this done.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am shocked that no one wants to talk abotu money.

[Simfan34]

Deemed to be at risk by whom?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Deemed to be at risk by whom?

a potential subclause 5: Each region shall compile a list of at-risk by compiling those institutions whose students perform in the bottom 25% of all public schools in the region and are in the top 25% for students dropping out of school, and then provide said list to the Deptarment of Internal Affairs as part of the process for applying for the funds.

We can make this a non-playable requirement since it would require quite a lot to actually provide this information, if it is even available.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Is that acceptable as a solution to tht problem? What about the money? Are my numbers close enough?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We are going no where fast. I contacted Simfan about his concern to see if the solution fixed ito ur not, but he hasn't responded I am going to go ahead and offer and this see if we can't shake this loose.

I said I supported your proposal.

^ What about this then?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Amendment 53:23 is adopted.

I foresee at least two more amendments here. The next one shall be mostly what I included in that response to Simfan, plus a few minor tweaks. That should be ready tonight some time.

[Oakvale]

No objections. I'll probably support this anyway but this a good addition to the bill as stands IMO.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Did you pull that out of a list of generic lines to copy and paste into bill threads or something?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Amendment 53:29 has been adopted:
