What
Trustee Work Am I Proudest Of?
1. Rising Test Scores
– Our
Standardized Test scores have risen nearly 50 points in the last four
years.
2.
High Academic Standards For All – We
have rigorous
standards for all of our students,
a curriculum that
preparesall students for college, and a knowledgeable staff that
breathes life
into our motto to "demonstrate, daily, a
relentless commitment to the success of every child."
3.
Continued Emphasis on the "Whole Child" – As
schools around the
state slash art, music, drama, PE,
and sports, we continue to support these enrichment activities.
4.
Fiscal Responsibility – While
districts struggle
throughout the state, we have kept
our district fiscally sound.
THANK
YOU to my ENDORSERS!
