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?

As a district, we have access to state and federal requirements on how public funds should be reported and utilized. Our Measure G Committee should work hand and hand with the board to ensure public funds are used appropriately.

The Board should publicly report quarterly rather than annually as to how monies have been spent as a line of current communication to our community to maintain transparency. This can be done by posting a link on the district website to the monthly meeting minutes.

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

While the district API scores have increased in language arts and math, I personally feel that we need to look at the whole student. Our higher achievers are not being challenged throughout our district and a balance for all students needs to be established.

3. Where do want the district to be 5 years from now? What steps should the district take to get there?

In 5 years, I'd like to see our API scores continually improve; our district has been able to network into private industry for financial backing; we continue to establish a cohesive partnership with our community, teachers, administrators, and help create an environment that invigorates while challenges students, parents, and teachers to be more involved in their neighborhood schools.
