These have been and will continue to be the major issues facing all schools . I have a unique opportunity as a school board member in Hannibal at this time. Those of us on the board now have served through the recent renovation project. I also have concerns about our use of the school day. Teachers will tell us that what they value most is uninterrupted teaching time.
Most successful schools provide their students with a day free from distractions.
I want to see our district do all it can to help teachers have that uninterrupted time. We have fine teachers working in Hannibal. We need to listen to them and respect their experience when they talk about the needs of our students. We need to encourage parents to make education a household priority and work as a partner with the schools for the good of all our children .
