Governmental organization varies. The county school board in my area used to answer to the county commission but now they are an independent board. Regardless of what your system is, it wouldn't hurt to contact the person who chairs your county commission or the commissioner who represents your district.\n\ns

First rule; proper spelling, grammar and punctuation are CRITICAL, especially in a petition.  A mispelling or misplaced comma may actually change the entire meaning of a sentence.  Next, remember that you are writing a resolution, so begining it with something like "We, The Undersigned Hereby {Resolve/Decree/Declare} That".  Avoid using or impling the word 'demand', as this may come across as arrogant.  No offense, but you are clearly in no position to be demanding anything, otherwise you wouldn't need this petition.  After the opening line, lay out your case, point by point, in a paragraph form. Though you may be tempted to mae long-winded, grand statements, try to avoid these if at all possible; get to the point.  At the end, the line 'So Signed' followed by the signatures typically works well.  Many juristictions require that you gather proof that these signatures are real, so you should at least request a home phone number be penned next to the signature.  You can be particularly formal and format it like a resolution (WHEREAS...), but this is somewhat harder to do correctly.  Here is a brief example of a petition as a decree:\n\nWe, The Undersigned Decree That\n\nProposed budject cuts to City High School's after school program would be detrimental to all involved... (blah blah)... Thus, we feel that the School Board again deliberate contingency cost-savings measures outlined in Citizens' Proposition 14B.\n\nSo Signed,\n{signiture sheets}\nSubmitted before the City School Board, on the 18th day of March, A.D 2006\n\n---\n\n(here's the same petition in a slightly more pompous 'resolution' format)\n\nWe, The Undersigned Hereby Resolve\n\nWHEREAS City High School's after school activities provide a safe and enriching environment to the students of City.\n\nWHEREAS The City School Board has elected to cut funding to said programs.\n...\nWHEREAS The group Concernced City Cititzens proposed alternative measures, titled Citizens' Proposition 14B\n\nAND WHEREAS Citzens' Proposition 14B was rejected by the Board without due discussion.\n\nTHUS, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED That the Board should deliberate Citizens' Proposition 14B for a period no shorter than 30 days\n\nAND should halt the shut down of the afterschool programs until such a time as 14B has come to a proper vote.\n\nBE IT SO DECLARED ON the 5th day of March, 2006 BY WE, THE UNDERSIGNED\n\n---\n\nVery long answer to a basic question, but I hope this gives you some ideas.  Good luck with your petition - citizen activism rocks!

Every school district has rules for those types of situations. Some public schools allow home schooled or private school students to participate in sports teams. I would talk to your school counselor to see if your district has something in place or what you could do to initiate something.

My colleague is correct in what he has said.  However, he didn't address those types of petitions which do carry binding results if enough signatures are gathered.  These include petitions to get a certain candidate on the ballot, to hold a referendum on a law, to hold a recall election, etc.  \n\nUnfortunately, the requirements for these vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so a precise answer is impossible based on the information you have provided.  If you are in the United States, consult your state's constitution.  Also, depending on what the petition is for, you might want to contact your local board of elections or the office of one of your legislators.  The information shouldn't be hard to find.

You might want to check with your State Education Dept first to see what they accept. Every state is different and before you put a lot of effort in this you should have a good idea of what the rules and regulations are.

You can do a petition any time you want. Anyone can! But it just shows who supports something. If everyone signs something saying "We deserve a half day of school every Friday" no one needs to do anything about it. It is just a recommendation.

School districts set their own calendars. You would have to ask the school board for the district that question. Here, usually the kids are out that day, but the teachers have to work.

You go to your Congressman with 200,000 names supporting a petition. That is how. I worked with the Citizens Action Coalition in the 80's and that is how it is done.

depends on the district but procedural policies are usually maintained by the board of ed or department of education in your area.  check your phone book.

http://www.petitiononline.com/petition.html\nThat's a great and easy site, many people have used it for many important (as well as dumb) things. If nothing else you can use it as a template for your own :)

It simply needs verification that these are real people whose opinions are relevant to the stated cause, for instance if you get 50 blind people to say they like the looks of the new uniform, it might raise a few eyebrows. (Or 50 sex offenders, the school wouldn't want their opinion either). Have the signers add date and maybe who they are (student, teacher, parent, etc.), the more well known the signers to the people you are presenting the petition to, the better. And another thing, you can never have TOO MANY legitimate signers.

Who is the petition to would be my first question - Congress, the president?\nThe other advice here is good. \nFirst rule: keep it simple. No more than two or three sentences, max. Something basic like "We, the undersigned, urge Congress to support the ratification of the UN Convention..."\nAnd the other thing is having a core group of people willing to circulate the petition. If you have a group in the area that will help you, use them.\n\nGood luck, and hope you succeed. We have been dragging our heels on this treaty for way too long.

I'm not sure there is a petition process for that.  Teachers are under contract so unless the contract allows for them to be let go by petition it can't happen.  Contact your school board member.  They can gather information and during a closed door session discuss with the employee and their lawyer the issue and make a decison as to if the issue warrants being let go.
