- Need early identification and remediation of learning disabilities.
-
The state's goal is for all children to be reading on grade level by the end of third grade. What do we do about children with reading disabilities?
- Make board meetings more conducive to participation from the public.
-
The board, as a direct liaison between the school and the community, needs to listen. The community should have greater input.
- Retain experienced teachers! Teachers need a contract!
-
The highest quality teaching staff should be recruited and retained. It is a problem when 36% of the teachers in one school asked for transfers or left the district. Teachers deserve an employment contract!
