Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).

Questions & Answers

1. How would you determine that the schools are using federal, state and local funds wisely and fairly and how would you report your findings to the community?

The existing School Accountability Reporting framework provides a good system to report to the community.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

While the schools offer a diverse course offering, there is a need to offer support to students who are struggling.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

The district should have at least 50% proficiency in every class and grade level as reported by the STAR tests. This will require taking steps to address non-proficiency.
