This priority partnership has created an innovative educational system. All students are well grounded in basic skills and graduate with confidence and competencies for their futures. Opportunities for professional, trade and vocational paths match business needs. Students develop leading edge high tech skills.
Schools are safe and teacher satisfaction is high.
Taxpayer dollars are maximized through evening and weekend use of school facilities for all kinds of social, recreational and learning programs. The success of our schools is a significant factor in attracting the large number of companies which have moved into the Bay Area. Schools have taken the lead in trying to fill the void left by those families where parents are unable to supervise children's daily activities. For these reasons, the Task Force concentrated on improving the public school system, Kindergarten through Grade 12. Achievement Based Progression will use standardized tests to evaluate and promote students in all grades based on demonstrated mastery of required skills and knowledge.
