Collapse all
|- Ensure student success and school discipline.
- Improve family and community engagement.
- Strengthen and protect our public schools.
Our school board members should be visiting our school buildings and facilities and attending/volunteering at school and community events a few times a month. Their responses to stakeholders’ concerns, questions, and recommendations should be individualized and timely. They should ask questions and seek feedback from students, school employees, families, and community members. They should build relationships with a broad, diverse array of stakeholders and actively seek to unlearn the misconceptions/preconceived notions they may have about USD 259 and public education. They should encourage improved attendance and public comment at school board meetings. They should inspire families and community members to attend school events and to serve on parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and booster clubs. They should help our families and communities provide mentorship to our students and show appreciation to our school employees. They should help our families and community members register to vote, to vote in all elections, and to visit and volunteer in our schools. I have been doing all of this.
- Are paid living wages.
- Have adequate paid family, medical, and compassionate leave.
- Receive health care (including for mental and behavioral health) that is reasonably priced, accessible, and high-quality.
- Receive sufficient student loan forgiveness and grant options.
- Have affordable, safe housing and childcare options.
- Have enough time to do their jobs (mitigating red tape and bureaucracy).
- Are respected by our students, families, community, and our elected officials.
