Position Papers
Need early identification and remediation of learning disabilities.
The state's goal is for all children to be reading on grade level by the end of third grade. What do we do about children with reading disabilities?
Make board meetings more conducive to participation from the public.
The board, as a direct liaison between the school and the community, needs to listen. The community should have greater input.
Retain experienced teachers! Teachers need a contract!
The highest quality teaching staff should be recruited and retained. It is a problem when 36% of the teachers in one school asked for transfers or left the district. Teachers deserve an employment contract!
