We are constantly growing and adapting to the changes of society, and invite you to learn more about how you can make an impact.
Student-Centered
Ensure we are educating our youth to be adaptive learners; providing well-prepared and supported educators; and investing in safe and modern 21st century facilities.
System Transparency
Support a fully engaged and transparent governance and administrative body committed to open, honest and responsive action and communication with respect to the budget, policies and data.
Community-Focused
It must be meaningful, authentic, inclusive, frequent and responsive. Far too often we fail to engage those we seek to impact, resulting in inadequate responses to the issues, leading to poor results. Because there are a multitude of factors impacting our youth’s access to a quality, safe learning environment, it is important that we, the school district, are aware and can advocate for and facilitate systems alignment to address external barriers.
Leadership Accountability
Actively engage in holding ourselves as a board and the superintendent accountable to developing and implementing a strategic plan that clearly sets out the academic, operations, and fiscal sustainability plans for our district.
