Campaign themes

Jacobus' campaign website listed the following campaign themes for 2013:[3]

Being an Effective Leader Under Policy Governance
Comprehensive policies enable the district to move forward with a clear vision of our expectations and allows the Board to hold the district accountable for student achievement.

Practicing Fiscal Responsibility
Taxpayers expect the Board to oversee the use of their taxes in a responsible and effective manner. The annual budget acceptance is a key role of the Board. I understand the important balance between "right-sizing" expenses and making new investments in the classroom that will enhance student performance.

Communicating with Purpose
Residents expect timely, open and transparent communications from the Board and the District. I am committed to meeting those objectives personally, and I have been proactive throughout my first four years in encouraging the same from our District Administration.

Promoting Our District's Successes
Strong Schools equal a strong community. There are a lot of good things happening in our schools. Publicly celebrating these and emphasizing new initiatives in necessary to create a positive environment for our existing students and attract new families. With trust and support, I believe our new leadership can bring even greater successes to our district in the future.
