Campaign themes

Steenstrup's campaign website listed the following campaign themes for 2013:[5]

  • Helping to ensure our schools have the right amount of technology at the right levels. Our investments in technology must be sustainable and teachers must be sufficiently trained to make sure we get the most value for our limited dollars.
  • Helping ensure that EVERY child reaches their own personal potential. We must have programs aimed at not just the high achieving kids and those who are struggling, but also all of the students in the middle.
  • Working to ensure that the new school buildings are designed and built in such a way that they not only meet today’s needs, but they are flexible enough to accommodate changing enrollment and changing learning environments. Our buildings also need to be safe, both in terms of security and traffic safety.
  • Keeping neighborhood schools and having priority put on children walking to school. This is especially important as our enrollment grows and when our new and expanded school buildings are complete.
  • Managing our budget carefully to insure that every tax dollar is well-spent.
