2010
Ogletree described his reasons for running on the district's website in 2010:[1]
| “ |
In your opinion, what critical challenges face the district, and what are possible solutions to address those issues? The first issue is inadequate financing of our district by Austin. We need to be strong advocates for adequate funding from the state and make cuts to our budget without sacrificing quality education. The next issue is maintaining a quality workforce. Quality education cannot take place without quality employees. We must compete with other districts and the private workforce by giving raises and valuing our employees. Another challenge is growth. We must continue to plan and meet the challenges that growth presents. [5] |
