| Welcome | |||

As your superintendent for the past two years, I have focused our efforts on creating a culture of academic excellence where students can experience the personal growth necessary for success. Crucial to these efforts is our ability to build a strong parent-based partnership where each student's academic plan for success is developed and closely monitored by both the school and the parents. Our ability to provide the type of high-quality education system our students and parents deserve depends greatly upon our success to develop and strengthen parent-school relationships. Continuous Improvement Another key component to delivering each student a high-quality education is our belief in a fundamental process that is systems-based, ongoing and founded on the concept of continuous improvement in everything we do. The major emphasis of our work has been:
Facilities Of the many challenges facing the district, none are greater than our aging facilities. In the fall of 2005, we began a coordinated effort to study our facilities and develop a plan for how we can continue providing the necessary programs and resources to all students. Now, one year later, we have moved one step closer by completing the initial phases of a district-wide facility study. Over the next few months we will be sharing information that architects and administration have put together, with all district stakeholders as we move into the next phase of the process. I am fully confident that by working closely with our parents, patrons and communities we will be able to develop a plan that will allow us to continue providing a high-quality education and that is mindful of the fiscal realities of this community and its taxpayers.
