Role of the Public
The public shapes what we as policy makers do, their concerns and suggestions help us improve our community and standards. By holding forums and conducting surveys we can get a better grasp of what they want in regard to fixing the mental health and stess issue in schools worldwide. The public communicates with us by volunteering their opinions at meetings, taking part in surveys and suggestions boxes as well as voicing their opinions and complaints online and in letters. Public support is essential in creating new policies because our policy specifically affects how students in their communities will be learning and or treated when in school. Parents and students in our community must agree with our policy to be voted on and voted into effect. In addition the more support we have, the easier it is to implement the actual policy. The public may have resources and supporters who will assist with costs by giving donnations for our cause. Supporters of our policy will be parents, teachers, board members and students who are proactive against the epidemic of student stress.
Role of Adversaries and Public Figures
Adversaries: Opponents may feel the issue is non existent or unimportant and wish to dismiss the proposal however we can sway them by showing physical research and evidence that proves the problem is real and fast growing.
Public Officials: The board of education are the policy makers in power regarding school policies. Currently our proposal has moderate support, many parents and students feel strongly towards the issue whereas others are uneducated and feel it is not of any importance.
Superintendent Nick Markarian, doesn’t see the legitimacy of the issue and is impartial to our proposal however we plan on exposing to the realities many students face under stress. Vice Principal, Dr. Donlevie understands the immensity and gravity of the issue, she is a major supporter of our proposal. We will be able to easily influence her into helping support our proposal because our views are incredibly similar. We will influence public officials through several measures, one being writing many letters to important public officials who have power to change the standards currently enforced. Secondly, we will gather both students and parents to sign a petition to help bring attention to the severity of the problem and how widely known it is. And lastly we will attend and hold public meetings to make sure our proposal is heard and voiced.

Beneficiaries and Profiters
Beneficiaries: In direct result of our policy changes, the students, parents, teachers will benefit. The changes will allow students to channel in on their subjects more and be able to skate by doing the minimum because of lack of time. Ideally, the students will be less stressed creating a better environment for both students and teachers. The teachers although will be both beneficiaries and profiteers because their workplace will be filled with less tension and stress provided by students and their parents.
Profiters: People who would profit from our policy would be the organizations who provide us with informational meetings that will inform our students, parents, and teachers about stress and its effects. Also the people who work for the organization and will be directly teaching this information will be paid for their services.
