Any inproprieties shall be referred to the Santa Clara County Office of Education and if necessary the District Attorney's office.

2. Are the schools offering instruction appropriate to the diverse educational abilities of all the students?

Although it seems as though speech therapy services appear to be more eqitable the group that seems that the "gifted and talented" students could be better serviced.

3. Where do you want the District to be five years from now? What steps should the District take to get there?

Financial solvency as well as a trustworthy administration and schoolboard. This will require close scrutiny of every aspect of the district from the Governing Board and administration to the staff as well as working with the Santa Clara County Office of Education
