The Board of Education will be committed to the continuous improvement of student academic achievement and expanding opportunities for career success, while recognizing the vital role of social and emotional health in reaching these goals.
The Board of Education will value the substantial financial contributions from both the community and the state. It will aim to ensure that tax dollars are used efficiently and effectively by considering local economic conditions.
The Board of Education will be dedicated to operating transparently and being responsive to the community. It will provide ample opportunities for the community to express opinions and concerns, which will be appropriately addressed. Information requested by the community will be provided promptly and in accordance with state law.
The Board of Education will acknowledge that both the board and the superintendent form a governance team that requires collaboration to succeed. The board will respect the superintendent’s role as the educational leader, while the superintendent will honor the board’s policymaking and oversight responsibilities. Board members will thoughtfully consider the superintendent’s advice and information, and clearly communicate their expectations. With effective communication, the board—understanding the community’s values and needs—will support the superintendent in shaping schools to meet those needs.
