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?

In addition to information presented to the board, I would solicit feedback from school site councils and parent teacher associations. This information should be available on a timely basis via improvements to the district and school websites.

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

Schools in the Mt. Pleasant School District are providing a diverse range of instruction. There is always room for improvement. I would like to see more science and art instruction and an expanded program for gifted and talented students.

3. Where do want the district to be 5 years from now? What steps should the district take to get there?

In the next 5 years I would like the district to have a reputation that attracts parents. Participation in competitive academic programs and the development of unique clubs or programs would help the district to gain visibility and recognition.
