Don't like this - expect children to have homework. Curriculum not coordinated for subject areas - not enough administrative staff to do this. Monies spent per student on east side of district appear to be greater than on west side of district. Our teachers, counselors, and administrators are overworked and underpaid. Good ones are leaving in droves.
Morale is down, because of lack of support and leadership from board and central office.
In general, teachers do a good job with curriculum and special programs considering poor circumstances. Gifted and talented and fine arts programs need expansion. The schools are not wasting money at the school level. Some required programs aren't much more than on paper - Gifted and Talented. Get rid of multi-level classes.
