Campaign themes
2011
Schutte completed a survey conducted by the Pioneer Press:
| “ | What is the biggest issue and how do you solve it?
Unpredictable and inadequate state funding with unfair taxes in "property-poor tax" districts like 196. Also, academic "slump" during middle school and achievement gaps between racial groups. Will continue to hire motivated administrators, teachers and staff who share the vision to educate all students to their full potential and will innovate to achieve his goal.[3] |
