Position Papers
Stafford Parker - Putting Children First
I have the time, interest,and burning desire to work with the school board to put children first, before adults.
Success cannot be achieved by the district alone. I am independent, yet committed to working with all entities who have a stake in helping our students succeed. This will require that we make bold changes and maintain high standards for all- no excuses, no exceptions.
