Student achievement

Graduation rates

"Graduation rates are on the decline in Thompson School District compared to other schools in the region. Let's find a way to promote dual tracks - one towards college and the other towards vocational training. Let's give students of all inclinations a path to success." |
Fiscal responsibility

"Families in the district are hardworking and are all still feeling the pinch of the slow economic recovery. Let's find ways to improve upon the efficient and responsible use of tax dollars in the district. Our kids, teachers, parents and business owners deserve it!" |
