First and most importantly the district needs to be adequately financed. It can't build new schools, hire adequate staff or properly compensate existing staff. Neither state funding or local funding is adequate to efficiently or effectively drive the district. Ours are overworked. It would also be nice if someone would clean my room on a regular basis.
Board members get in touch with teachers' needs.
We need to hire better teachers, who challenge students and spend the appropriate time on classroom work. Also, middle school math and English grammar. Quit hiring or firing administrative bureaucrats and put the money and staff into the schools to enhance and facilitate student instruction. Raise teacher salaries and focus time and money on academic programs, NOT sports programs. Administrators need to visit with the teachers more often to understand the problems of each school.
