Campaign themes
In a survey conducted by The Patriot Ledger, DiBona argued that the following was the most significant issue confronting the school district:[1]

I think the most pressing issue facing QPS is the imbalance of the schools. I have visited each and every school and see that some schools have more than others. I'm a strong believer in equal opportunity for all children. Now with the brand new Central Middle school, the students of that facility will have a new state-of-the-art school with a beautiful library and a full-time media specialists, AP and lab classes. It is very important now with a new variable, a new middle school, that we balance the programs at the other four middle schools. We need to start offering a few AP classes at each of the other four middle schools. We have existing educators from each school teaching a few AP classes. There will be the same number of students in the building, so we don’t need to hire new teachers. I would like to see a lab class in there as well. I am advocating 1-2 classes per grade per school at Atlantic, Broad Meadows, Sterling and Point Webster. |
