The "Contract with the Community" reflects the overall goals of our community and the community trust given to the Board of Education to attain those goals. The Contract dictates we stay within our financial parameters while providing a top quality education to all of our students. Teamwork by the Board will be required to meet these priorities and accomplish these goals. We must monitor programs and processes to provide better value to the taxpayer than ever before.
