Questions & Answers

1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

By consulting the people who need the funds most, the teachers. As for reporting, the districts website should be the portal to the community along with town style meetings.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

The district needs a broader range of opportunities, more sports, music and the arts.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

This district is of a size that it will grow to multiple campus sites over the next decade. The next 5 years should provide the plans and implementation for that growth.
