What are my goals

By John Dexter

We need to re-engage our communities in the education process

• Support all prevention programs that work to keep all students from drugs, violence, gangs, bullying and provide education and assistance to all families that are victim to these issues.
• Strongly support the use of technology in closing the achievement gap. I will promote the hiring of a grant writer to bring in additional revenue to upgrade and expand technology in our schools.
• We must have a stronger emphasis on K-3rd grade reading and learning skills.
• Improve graduation rates through aggressive early intervention and credit recovery programs.
• Hold the Superintendent and Administration responsible for their actions.
• Value and seek the voice of the community when making decisions.
• Transparency in all actions taken by the Board and School District must be paramount.
• Reduce all unnecessary and excessive spending.
• Provide leadership that is proactive not reactive.
• Promote policies that show respect for our communities, students and staff.
• Student and Staff safety will always be first.
• h Increase community involvement and provide accessibility to all.
