Creating a 2004 School Plan – A Manual
Help sign up more Freedom’s Answer Schools
While the job of any individual Freedom’s Answer School
is to maximize the program at that school, all participating schools
can help in another big way. They can help the campaign to recruit
more and more and more schools to the program.
If each school participating in the program recruits just one
more, the number of schools (and probably the number or students
taking part) across the country will double.
There will be special national initiatives to increase the number
of schools participating and the cooperation of the school Principals,
Coordinators and Student leadership will be very important.
Here are some steps which could dramatically increase participation.
(Students are encouraged to encourage their advisors, teachers and
principals to make it all happen.)
- Every principal who strongly supports the program is encouraged
to make his/her Superintendent fully aware of it so it can be
recommended to all other high schools in the district.
- Every Social Studies Teacher and Student Council Advisor who
likes the program is encouraged to reach out to their colleagues
in other schools and urge them to participate.
- If every high Freedom’s Answer School challenged its biggest
rival to a contest to see which school could produce the most
voting pledges, most schools in America would be involved.
- If every high school challenged all the schools in its athletic
league to a contest to see who could generate the most voting
pledges, all America could benefit.
- In view of the 50-State Challenge,
it is in the interest of every school in every state to be sure
that every other school in that state participates. The winner
of the Mega-Prize will be the
Freedom’s Answer School in the one state that increases
its voter turnout percentage the most between 2000 and 2004. That
state is very likely to be the state that has the highest percentage
of its schools engaged fully in the Freedom’s Answer program.
