Superintendent's Scholars

 

Our focus remains on teaching and learning, operational efficiency and customer service.  Teachers and administrators are working together as never before under Race to the Top to ensure that students and educators are ready for the rigorous new state standards and measurements that will roll out in 2013-2014. We will dedicate our last four brand new schools this year, and we will work to earn your support by delivering excellent customer service in our schools and departments across the district.

We enter the new school year with improved student achievement, a new academic plan, renewed commitment to parent and family involvement, and continued outreach to our business and community partners. Budget reductions resulting from shrinking resources and the state and local levels have challenged us to reinvent ourselves. But we will not shrink from our responsibility to our students. Our decisions, academic and operational, rest on four academic  non-negotiables: (1) kindergarten readiness, (2) third-graders reading on grade level, (3) closing the achievement gap with a focus on special education, and (4) high school graduates ready for college and careers.
