ISSUES
-
Academic Fundamentals and Job Skills Training must be the primary focus of Education. Reading and Math achievement must improve for all Students. Students must "First Learn to Read, in order to Read to Learn". The District must also provide students the practical skills and Career Pathways that they need to become Productive Adults so their their Education is relevant and meaningful.
-
Sound Financial Budgets. Declining enrollment is a challenge facing most Districts. The Governing Board must be mindful of this fact and be prudent with their responsibility to control budgets accordingly.
-
Let Teachers Teach. The District must provide a safe and supportive environment for Teachers to practice their craft free from the pressures of Social and Political Activism. The role of the District Administration is primarily to support Teachers in their efforts to educate our children.
-
Involve Parents. Schools are an important part of the Community. Parents should be welcomed in classrooms to assist Teachers and be part of the Education of their children.
-
Political and Social Activism has no place in our schools. Educators, who have a unique position of influence, should not impose their personal views on our children. That is solely the responsibility of their Parents.
-
Eliminate Child Sexualization Education (CSE) in our schools. Sexually explicit material should not be made available in our schools. Children should not be encouraged or "groomed" to engage in sexual activity. The District must respect the rights of Parents to direct this part of their development.
