What would help?
Help children and families stay put. "If we have them for three years, we'll make a positive impact." <

- Verona schools Superintendent Bill Conzemius <

<

Find tutors. "The kids need help with homework - people who know how to do algebra, know how to do a book report, who will work with the student until he knows how to read a book." <

- Jeanne Retelle, Madison schools <

<

Develop teen-agers' leadership skills, and help them with homework, job skills and volunteer opportunities. "You have to focus on the teen-agers because the little kids are looking up to them as role models." <

- resident Darlene Burrell <

<

Address racial issues. At school, "nobody tries to get to know me. I only got black friends. I only have a couple of white friends." <

- resident Marvin Harris, 16 <

<

Open a Madison Area Technical College satellite in the old Sentry foods store building because people need access to education. <

- Dan Wood, Madison schools social worker <
