Platform

• Teachers are education professionals and must be supported as such.
• All students should be allowed and encouraged to reach their potential.
• Open communication between the school district, the board and the community is part of a healthy relationship.

Purpose

A quality education means stretching each student to reach beyond what they are doing to find out what they can do.
