Position Papers
Closing the Achievement Gap
To make progress, we must take a hard look at the way we distribute resources and set priorities throughout the district, to be sure they are aligned with best practices in education.
Updating the Student Assignment System
Our student assignment system has not been updated to reflect demographic trends or program changes and desperately needs an overhaul.
