Dear Governor Wilson:
After a thorough review by its Education Task Force. the California Business Roundtable voted
unanimously to support Goals 2000, and we encourage y(')u to accept the recently awarded $42
million federal grant immediately.
As you know, the California Business Roundtable represents more than 7S of the state's major
companies. Our members are working jn local sdiools, with your Administration. State
Supcrinu;ndent Delaine Eastin, the state Legislarure. and others to improve California's public
education sys,tern. We support programs that enllance standards and assessments, improve
curriculum and promote school-to-work opportunities. Ooals 2000 encourages Ihis kind
progress, and to tha.t end, we believe it is worthy of our support.
or
In addition, we strongly believe that Califomja should accept the $42 million Goals 20De grant
monies wluch have been awarded to our state, After all, this is state taxpayer-generated money
which shouJd bc returned to California a.nd should be spent here, in our schools. However, we
agree it should be made clear to the recipients of this one-time money that sdiools must not
depend upon Goals 2000 funding. Since Congress has yet to determine the f8te of Goals 2000
and its grant awards to states, it would be unwise to distribute grant monies to California ,chools
without this warning.
'
The California Business Roundtable. is confident that the objectives set forth in Goals 2000 have
merit for our schools and our state. On behalf of our member companies. we urge you \0
distribute the Qlle~time $42 million grant monies immediately.

Authorizing spending of this Goals 2000 grant will further promote school·based
change, innovation and parental and community involvement at the school site
all goals to which we are committed. eJearly, California will not rema.in

Dear Governor Wilson:
After a thorough review by its Education Task Force, the·CeJifomia Business Roundtable voted
unanimously to support Goals 2000, and we encourage you to accept the-recently awarded $42
million federal grant immediately.
As you know, the Califomia·Busi.rless Roundtable represents more than 75 of the state's major
companies. Our members are working in local schools. with your Administration, State
Superintr::ndent Delaine Eastin, the state LegislatUre. and others 10 improve California's public
education sys.tern. We support programs that enhance standards and assessments, improve
curriculum and promote ~ehool-to-work opportunities. Ooals 2000 encourages this kind of
. progress, and 10 that end, we believe it is worthy of our support.
In addition, we strongly believe that California should accept the $42 rnillion Goals 200C grant
monies wluch have been awarded to our state. After all, this is state taxpayer-e,enerated li,oney
which should be returned to California and shOuld be spent here, in our schools. However, we .
agree it should be made clear to the recipients of this one-time money that schools must not
depend upon Ooals 2000 [undine,. Since Congress has yet to determine the fate of Goals 2000
and its grant awards to states, it Would be unwise to distribute grant monies to California schools .
without this warning,
.. The California Business ROllndt.sblc is confident that the objectives 'set forth in Goals 2000 have .
merit for OUT schools and .our state. On behalf of our member companies, we urge you to .
. distribute the {\llertime $42 million grant monies immediately.

.OearMr. Preside"t:
. rease consider this letter as a statement of support for youreffom to maintain and ennance
p
our nation's commitment to quality education through the Ccalj 2000: Educate America Act
The vast majority of Americans know and appreciate the role of educarion in maintaining our .
democratic scxiety,economic system 8"d quality of life. The UOil)S 2000 prosram is presentty
the most thoughtful, well<onceivec1. orpnized, supported. and led refonn in itiative in the
nation and in our state. I urge you to support its contfnuatlon at its fulJ funding revel.
. The dtlzeM of Louls(ana do re:ognize the importance of education, and they sincerely wish
to ensure that their children have every opportunity to access quality education apprpprfate
for the 21st cenf:\.lry.The Louisiana Cioars 2000 program haS provided a strang and supPortIve·
national structure for ourstat:e'!l reform efforts with unprecedented flexIbility and freedom "for·
refcrm activities. Beause 0( thi5 flexibility and freedom our state and 5chool system:; have
beer1 able to plan ind besin implementation of important educational reform projects•. These
projects have bee" referenced to the natiQnalgoals and meet our need$ and priorities in the
areas or local improvement, professional development, educational technology and preservice
education. AU theseeffort& are focused on the key concepts of definins hiSh academic
standards and helping all students to achieve to those standards. Withlrnhe flrst two years of

Dear Govemer Wilson:
'
,
,
After a ~horou£h review by its Educatien Task Force. the Califomia Busi~e5s R.~\ll1~table voted
unanimously to support Goals 2000, and we,en~ourage you to accept,the ~ecently awarded $42
million federal grant immedia.tely.
'
,
'
As you know, t11e California Business Roundtable represents more th~ 7S ofth.e state's major
companies. Our members~ working in lo,cal scheols. with your Admi~istra~ion. ~'t.ate
Superintendent Delaine Eastin, the state Legislarure. and ethers to improve California's public
.educatioh sys~em .. We support programs that enhance standards and assessm~nts, improye
, curriculum' and, p'romote 5ch\)ol-to-work .opportunities. Goals 2000 ,epcou~ages this kind of
'progress, and to that end, we believe it is worthy of our support.
'
i
In 'addition, we strongly beJieve that ,California 9h~uld accept the $,4f millio,! Goals 200e· grant
monies which have been awarded to our StB.t!!. After all. this is state taxpayer-generated money
which should be returned to Ca.lifornia and should be spent here, in 0ur·schools. However, we
agree it should be: made clear to the recipients ofthis one-time money thatsc~ools must qat
depend upon Goals 2000 f-unding, Since Ce.ngress has yet to determine, the fate of Goals 2000
and its grant awards to states, it would be unwise to distribute grant monies California :»chooIs
,
Without t~js wa.rning.

The California Busines!i Roundtable is confident that the objectives set forth in Goals 2000 ha.ve .

Thank you for your recent correspondence informing me of the
technical support and information resources that are available
through your department. I am a strong supporter of the GOALS 2000
program and my wife, Sandy is serving as chairperson' of NEVADA

development for our teachers.
I am pleased to report that

and strategies
outlined
in our
comprehensive plan.
I am'certain that as we begin to implement the various aspects
of NEVADA 2000, my staff and our State Department of Education will
enlist your assistance.
We appreciate being able to include the
u.S. Department of Education as part of our support network.
Again, thank you for your kind assistance.

Dear Mr. Speaker:
I'm writing to ask for your support to continue the funding for Goals 2000 education .
grants. It must be remembered that Goals 2000 legislation was a bi-partisan triumph for
·our children and our nation. This funding is not an expenditure, rather an investment~
Further,.this funding follows the concept of putting ftmds in the hands of the states
they can be best applied for the needs ofeach state's students.
so
Specifically what I ani asking you to do? I'm asking that you support the $310M
appropriation as provided in the Senate Bill.
For a number of years I have been actively involved in working to improve the
educational opportunities for our children. I serve on the Business Roundtable and the .
National Alliance ofBusiness committees that focus on education. This has brought m~
close to the many needs in our education system. Goals 2000 funding can't address rhe~
all. But, to eliminate this ftUlding and further deny our children the education they need
t
· o reach for the opportunities this nation provides is cruel treatment, particularly for tho~
that are already in varying degrees, barred from the advantages ofour society.
.
In these days when the fatal abuse.to Y9ung Elisa Izquierdo hangs heavily on so many'
minds we must rethink how we can stop abusing our children and reach out to prepare
them for the future. It's really important to our nation's furore. One step is to improv~
their educational opportunities. By supporting a continuation of Goals 2000 funding you
·will show your resolve to vote for our children and our nation's future. Don't turn yoUr
.back on this investment.
.
Sincerely.
i
