No job in America is more important than teaching. It is very challenging to be in the classroom today. Kennewick teachers meet this challenge every day. We have a great support staff made up of counselors, librarians, teacher assistants, secretaries, cafeteria workers, security people, maintenance and custodial staff, bus drivers and mechanics, etc., who provide a solid support base for teachers and children. And finally, we have a strong administrative team that supports this outstanding staff.
Leadership is essential to quality education.
We are working towards a collaborative, shared decision making approach within the District. District administrators are working to build a collaborative process that includes staff, students where appropriate, parents, and community people. Kennewick is an outstanding community that supports its schools. We have several partnerships that demonstrate this support. The Parent Network is a partnership between the school district and parents to assist parents in raising their children.
