Recruiting Qualified Teachers
Finding and keeping good teachers must be a top priority for our schools.
Bringing diversity to the School Board
A good School Board needs to have diversity to provide comprehensive leadership and represent the needs of our community.
A well-educated School Board is essential to progress.
