| Collapse all
- Financial transparency: for too long parents and stakeholders have been left out of the conversation of where the taxpayer dollars get allocated within our school district.
- Literacy: just recently, our state has made changes to ensure that every child can read on grade level along with their peers. As a community, let's make sure we are purchasing the correct books and curriculum for our students.
- Safety: safety extends beyond just hardening our schools. It includes making sure that our students aren't facing discrimination and racism, as well as their needs being met in the classroom through IEPs and 504 plans.
