Campaign themes
2013
In response to a survey conducted by The Hub Independent, Donlon argued that the following were the most significant issues confronting the school district:[3]
|
The main issue is providing a unique and quality education as you work to manage costs with state-mandated requirements, while ensuring you hire and maintain great teachers and administrators. We also have 17 schools with ties to specific communities and changing demographics brought on by newer developments and zoning redesign. I would challenge the board with developing a comprehensive and long-term plan to address these issues by reviewing statistical data and supporting documentation to make the best decisions for our community. |
