  2. Commitment to ExcellenceAs a school community: We believe our children and community deserve the best programs and facilities we can provide. We believe the success of our schools is among the most valuable asset of owning a home in this community. We believe safe and secure facilities for our children are essential. We believe in teaching our children to achieve mastery and excellence; to expect the best for themselves. We continue working hard to improve our schools and improve academic achievement.

  3. District Goals for Proposed BudgetsThe proposed budget provides financial support for the implementation of our Long-Range Planwhich strives to: • maintain quality academic and extracurricular programs; • maintain all staffing necessary to provide a high quality educational program; • maintain all of our facilities; and • continue building excellence in education while being fiscally responsible to the taxpayers.

  4. When employees are part of the solution… it confirms willingness by the administrators, teachers and staff to keep the district strong and avoid possible layoffs next year. it shows support to the community by “giving back” during difficult economic times. it demonstrates that administration, teachers, staff and community members are working together to provide the best education for our students, and be as fiscally responsible as we can. it will increase support from the community as we approach the budget vote, recognizing we are all working together toward being part of the solution.
