GOALS & OBJECTIVES

We believe that the Board is responsible to the people, and therefore, should attempt to reflect the opinion of the community; however, Board members must look to the future more clearly than is required of the average citizen. The results of many of the decisions and actions of the Board will not be realized at once, but will set the course of education for future years. 

The Board has established broad principles upon which it formulates its policies for the operation of the schools under its jurisdiction. These principles and beliefs are as follows:

  1. Educational opportunities must be provided for all the children of all the people.
  2. Educational offerings must be provided for the varying abilities and needs of the students.
  3. Education must be concerned with the life needs of the students. It contributes to their all around growth which includes the physical, mental, social, vocational and spiritual development.
  4. Public education is obligated to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of all the finer and more wholesome facets of American life.
  5. The main objective of the Board is to provide all students the best educational opportunities within available resources.
