- Building Trust with Communities
-
Perceptions are often formed from a few badly handled issues, such as the recent parcel tax election and personnel transfers. The board and administration must work together to rebuild trust by making full disclosure of issues, without violating confidentiality, and through follow-up.
- Offering Quality Learning Opportunities to Students
-
The primary focus must be on maintaining and improving the ongoing, core educational programs, which are funded primarily by revenue limit and categorical funds, providing qualified faculty and support staff, and maximizing positive student/teacher interaction. Enhancing educational opportunities to students through a community-supported parcel tax would be beneficial, provided that the programs funded are sound and cost effective.
- Maintaining Fiscal Control
-
The budget is balanced with appropriate reserves, and long-range facilities plans are in place and funded. The board must provide fiscal control to ensure that district resources are properly managed.
