Parking:
Brooke
I will make parking cheaper and easier for all students. Forget the formalities, what paperwork could you possibly need
to park your car on some pavement? Why should we make something so simple so difficult for students who are already busy enough?
Sofia
Parking policies here at NCHS are amazing as is. We only pay $40 for passes, while the nearby schools (AKA D-town) are paying $150. This is something I plan on keeping present at our school in order to maintain our generous image, and promise to never let the price rise.
Cafeteria Prices:
Brooke
Ok people please, if you want good quality food, you have to be willing to cough up a few extra bucks. The vegetables in our salads are fresh daily, along with all the other options provided to you all. If you would rather not spend $6 on a salad, you can help yourself to one of the schools vending machines, or school store.
Sofia
These prices are outrageous. We get it, you need to buy good food for a large amount of hungry teens, but c’mon these prices are seriously pushing it. No one has $6 to spare on a tiny salad that comes in a Chinese food to-go box.
Separation of Grades:
Brooke
Separation of grades in the cafeteria is crucial in dividing social classes. Without division, the boundaries are blurred and respect is lost. Those who have served the four years in this high school deserve some appreciation and power. Whats next? Freshman sitting at the front of the football games? Absolutely not.
Sofia
This is an epidemic that plagues our school. This separation hurts the unity of our students and makes things awkward in the halls. If we were able to fight the divide, we would see huge changes for the better.
BYOD:
Brooke
BYOD is a hassle and a back breaker. I will dissolve this idea immediately after being elected, as this test run of the idea has 
gone poorly. Forgetting a device turns into a brawl with a teacher and the pressure of having your own computer–specifically a name brand device–is completely unnecessary.
Sofia
This is the best improvement to NCHS yet. Having students bring in devices daily is a great way to get work done efficiently and in the format that works best for that student.
AP Classes:
Brooke
AP classes are necessary due to the fact that they provide the pressure necessary to push students to work their absolute hardest. No, they aren’t for everyone, but neither are things like sports. You don’t see us getting rid of sports and the process of cutting just because some students just simply don’t have what it takes. It’s this competitive attitude that makes the activities worthwhile.
Sofia
Students have enough to worry about while keeping up with their classes that the pressure to take AP’s is absolutely absurd. I will remove the opportunity to appeal for AP’s and only allow recommendations into classes. The only chance to take these classes comes from these recommendations which ensures that the student is prepared to take the class and will not struggle through it as many do when appealing.
