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?
Careful analysis of the budget is required, together with ongoing evaluation of District needs for the present and future. Complete transparancy of the budgeting process should be a given, along with providing more material online for the public to review.2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?
The schools are offering the best instruction appropriate to the individual students, given the financial constraints within the district. Two particular areas of improvement needed are reinstatement of the cuts in the Elementary and Middle School music education, and opportunities for vocational education provided to high school students.3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?
The District needs to be financially sound and continue its improvements in academic achievement. Vocational opportunities must be provided to all high school age students in addition to the opportunity to attend college. The music programs that have been cut should be reinstated and improved upon.
