Educational quality, teaching excellence, and high expectations are an important focus of the district. Staff appointments are based on merit, experience, and quality, and not on what is politically correct. And policy decisions are no longer dictated from the top down. Reality, integrity, and common sense mark district staff decisions. The schools are in a process of rebirth and revitalization.
Schools are in the midst of massive rebuilding and renovation projects.
And the beauty of it all is that the activities are not limited to concrete and infra-structural improvements. The district has embarked on a rebirth in the fundamental process of decision making, accountability, and new programs. Parent and community input are sought and considered carefully. This September, the district will open a state of the art science and technology magnet high school and Valley View Elementary will reopen as a public school. Three schools, Cerritos, Edison, and Daily, are slated for rebuilding and 14 others will have major improvements.
