Notable Quotes (2)

So often times we see districts or at least I've seen districts where we have a five-year plan and we say this is our great plan but it's not intermeshed with what we're actually doing in our district... I feel like the district is really set up to do well it's a living breathing document where if you're following the board, you'll see that board action is always linked in with where it fits in in the plan.

School Board Candidate Forum Opening and General Questions

I guess to measure how well we're doing I would look to students and families and really take inventory of where students feeling today that they're being supported... I think the best way to do that is to talk to people and get the voices of everybody.
