Student Developed Education Policy
The Center for Student Developed Education Policy (CeSDEP) was created to help students get assistance from their peers in developing new policies, rules, regulations, and customs in their primary and secondary public schools in the United States of America.
Mission Statement
The Mission Statement of the CeSDEP says:
The Center for Student Developed Education Policy (CeSDEP) will maintain a web site that will help students develop new and old policies for their primary and secondary public schools. The website will offer a step based process to help students make policy changes.
1. Cesdep.org will make an announcement of an education problem, at a student's request. The student will use the submit form at cesdep.org to add the problem to the database. The web site administrators will review the submitted problem and, if they determine it to be an education policy problem, add it to the main news site or one of the geographic region sites, as appropriate to the problem.
2. Guests and members will make comments on the problem, and offer solutions, using the comment submit form.
3. The student will select a solution from those offered by comments, and act on it.
4. The student will announce and describe their success with the submit form, and administrators will add it to cesdep.org, as above. If the student is not successful with the first solution, they can submit an explanation of what they did, and what went wrong. Then, more suggestions can be added, as in step 2.
CeSDEP will run a public relations campaign to help more students take advantage of it's services.
CeSDEP will not make a profit.
CeSDEP will solicit user input on its methods.
CeSDEP will not send unsolicited email.
CeSDEP will discourage standardized testing.
CeSDEP will distribute all its major documents under the GNU's Not Unix General Public Documentation License.
Cesdep.org will contain a listing of other sites that relate to this mission statement.
CeSDEP will provide tools to help improve interaction between students working on education policy and school teachers and administrators.
While focusing on local policy, CeSDEP will offer communication channels to aid organization of major events that will try to change regional and national education policy.
