Students at every grade level will be affected by this plan. By the Fall of 2000, every student in our district will have to meet established benchmarks in order to move on to the next grade level. This five-year agenda is already underway. Our youth will have the skills necessary to survive an increasingly competitive and complex world. We will meet this challenge within our existing financial resources, but we also need your help.
Education is a partnership.
We need support when school resources are focused sharply on increased student learning. We need your support in standing firm when requiring students to meet the new standards. We all want better prepared students. We believe this plan will be a big step toward that end.
