Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Sycamore Schools have maintained an "Excellent" State report card rating for the last three years. The Board of Education shares this success with our taxpayers who provide for our financial needs, our staff and administrators for their professionalism, and our students who provide the effort to succeed. The Board's function is to maintain our "Excellent" rating at the lowest possible cost per student. To be successful, we must continue to monitor costs and evaluate services.

2. How can the School Board work with local government and the community on use of school facilities for after school programs and recreations?

The Sycamore Board has developed a great relationship with local governments and community groups. Knothole baseball, the Aves, Sycamore Atheletic Club, Montgomery and Blue Ash Woman's Clubs, Adult Education programs, and area civic clubs all share use of district facilities. Our new gymnasiums and renovated fields were booked by area organizations before those facilities were even completed. Community, club, adult education programs and cultural groups use our auditoriums regularly.
