EXPLANATION & OBJECTIVES:
District school boards throughout the state continually have raised our taxes to fund unnecessary, frivolous expenses, wasteful and duplicative programs, social engineering schemes, inflated teacher, administrator, and staff salaries, new, luxurious administration buildings, and to fund leftwing and politically correct classroom curriculum materials. Too often, school boards have committed such travesties with hardly a whimper of protest from the taxpaying public. Bloated budgets to feed bureaucratic appetites that believe that better education can come only from increased funding, and the continued infiltration of our school systems by socialist indoctrinators, will continue until conservative, traditional, taxpaying parents and other overtaxed citizens begin to monitor their school boards to stop the spiral of high taxes, wasteful spending, and questionable curriculum. NTF provides information and materials to members interested in increasing educational responsibility and choice.

We believe that public schools must undergo fundamental administrative alteration to make them more responsive and efficient in meeting the academic needs of children and more accountable for what students actually learn. Education Monitor begins this fundamental change by increasing the awareness of Nebraskans about opportunities for substantial improvement in the quality of education through their personal involvement and use of our resources. Also, remember that fiscally conservative school board members need our support and that we must work diligently to elect additional ones!

===========================================================================
Education Monitor volunteers provide independent and objective over­sight over budgeting practices by assessing efficiency in the use of physical, human, and financial resources, and determining if elect­ed and appointed officials are accountable, transparent, and responsive to taxpayers. Our project volunteers accomplish what school board members refuse to do for political reasons or appear unable to do because of lack of skill or inclination. Our mission objective is to review and analyze school district operations, procedures, practices, and policies to determine if our recommendations for improvement will enhance allocation of tax dollars.
