Priorities
That
Matter
Strong Academic Outcomes That Prepare Students for Real Life
Ensure strong foundations in reading, writing, math, and critical thinking
Prepare students for college, skilled trades, military service, or the workforce — with no single path favored over another
Use teaching methods and curriculum grounded in evidence, data, and professional expertise
Emphasize problem-solving, communication, and adaptability — skills students will use long after graduation
Safe, Supportive Schools Where Students Can Focus on Learning
Safe school environments that protect students’ physical and emotional well-being
Clear expectations and consistent behavior standards
Early, appropriate support so challenges don’t become crises
Responsible Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars and Community Trust
Good budgeting means preparing for changes in enrollment, state funding, and costs—so the district isn’t forced into last-minute cuts or rushed decisions
Families deserve to be heard, and decisions should follow clear, consistent processes so outcomes feel fair, understandable, and earned—even when not everyone agrees
