Position Papers
Bringing Civility and Cooperation between the Board and Administration
My goal for the district is the provision of a quality education for all students.
Raising Academic Achievement
We now have several schools in our district who are not attaining dictates of "No Child Left Behind," even though we know those standards are misleading.
English Language Learners
Approximately 25% of our student body is comprised of English Language Learners. Acquiring a second language is very difficult, usually taking at least three to five years to attain proficiency in the second language.
