The value of diversity will be understood, respected, and promoted. Parent participation will be a planned component of district and school activities. Community collaboration will be an integral part of all educational programs. Strategies are the activities which redirect district resources. They identify stretch, growth, and positive change.
Strategies are the mission in action.
The achievement of all students will be raised and the gap that exists among various groups will be closed. The instructional staff will utilize varied teaching methods to insure success in the core curriculum and to support the changes necessary to improve learning. All sites in the district will have a safe, secure, and disciplined environment free of weapons, drugs, alcohol, violence, and harassment. All programs, practices, and procedures of the district will support student instruction and respect for diversity. School and district plans will be implemented to minimize failure, to reduce the drop-out rate, and to reassure students they still have a chance to succeed.
