What’s at Stake
Safe Schools
The reopening of schools is not a partisan issue. We must focus on the best available evidence to help protect students and staff, and work to make up for the setbacks our students have experienced in the last year.
Productive Spending
Our tax dollars are earmarked to fund our community’s most essential needs. We must persistently work to guarantee there is a return on our investments. This is an active process that requires a continual audit and an essential question: will this help our students?
Leadership
The board must retain a superintendent that commits to be a champion of equity and access for the students in our district, and whose educational mission aligns with the community’s needs. The board and superintendent must operate as a collaborative team, partnering to set clear, measurable goals for the future of the district.
Equity in Action
Education is a civil right. This pandemic has exacerbated the educational equity crisis in our community. We must work to develop an Equity Action Plan with evidence of implementation indicators that identify and address barriers to learning for those who need it most.
