- Planning ahead for increasing pension costs for school districts
-
Having a sound district budget means planning ahead for increasing pension costs and other potential cuts. We need budget reserves to help get us through bad times.
- It's time to re-open an elementary school in the Whisman/Slater neighborhood
-
We have the money and we have the additional students. Let's re-open a school in the neighborhood that hasn't had one for 10 years.
- Every school has improved in the 12 years that I have been on the board
-
By every measure - test scores, school scores, high academic standards for all, and continued emphasis on "the whole child" - our district is better than it was 12 years ago
