| “ | Where is the district is headed in the next four years?[5] | ” |
Piceno gave the following answer:[2]
| “ | I believe funding will increase, but that good news will be tempered with increases in housing developments, which will impact our facilities. The need to attract and retain a quality staff will continue. Academic improvement, as reflected in the district's API, has been virtually stalled for the past two years, so attention in this area is essential.[5] | ” |
