EVERY VOICE MATTERS

I believe in public education. I believe every child has the right to receive an educational experience that gives them the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical skills necessary to engage successfully in a progressively changing world. I believe every child should have the opportunity to discover and belong and learn in an environment of safety, respect and equity. I believe every voice matters; the collective perspectives and stories of students, staff, and parents give a depth and breadth to our service to students that enriches their experience for the better.

​

Thriving public schools cultivate the thinkers and leaders of today and tomorrow, provide diverse opportunities for learning and support, and ensure more students successfully transition to the workforce or pursue post-secondary education. Great schools drive housing and neighborhood development, boost our local economy, and help families build roots and stay for the long term.

 

I believe investing in public education is investing in our future.
