Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).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?
Findings and reports need to be shared with the community on a regular (per board meeting) basis. Budget breakdown nd alocation will be given on a quarterly basis with a monthly report given by the finance director.There are signatures which are required prior to dollars being spent for any services. Those have to be aligned and fall with in each categorical program and must be part of the auditing process. Which the school district should conduct on an annual basis.
The information of the audit needs to be presented to the community in an annual report via the superintendent's annual address.
3. Where do want the district to be 5 years from now? What steps should the district take to get there?
The district needs to improve year over year on its API scores by building a sense of urgency among all of its stake holders. This can be done with the continue focus on improving student achievement especially in the areas of math and science.The district must focus its energy, resources and staff to place students first and build a strategy which will have student learning and achievement at the center of it all.
