Top Three Issues
Quality Education
Our community has a history of supporting our schools. In return, we expect that our school district provides the highest quality of education. We want our students to become life-long learners, while achieving their potential in our classrooms. Quality schools provide a home-grown work force and the next generation of innovators, who will create jobs in our community.
Physical and Mental Health Safety
The physical safety of our students and staff is a priority for everyone. Ensuring schools are safe from outside threats is understood. Safety needs to also include environments that protect the mental health of our students. Bullying must be addressed with absolute seriousness. Protecting students from ideologies that attack their mental health and well-being is a growing issue that needs to be addressed.
Preservation of Parents' Rights
Parents are the leading educators in their children's lives. We engage schools in an educational partnership. Communication and transparency are vital to the success of this partnership. Our district has made decisions that go against their own parent survey results. Parents who have brought serious situations to school administrators have not seen the issues addressed. This is to the detriment of our students and school district.
