• Ensure more students are prepared to thrive in the college, career, and life of their choice. We can do this by recruiting, retaining, and supporting highly effective staff, improving student achievement, and giving all students the social-emotional skills to navigate their future.
• For students to thrive in the classroom and employees to thrive in their work, we must maintain school safety — physically, emotionally, and intellectually — with effective social-emotional and wellness supports, and meaningful family and community engagement.
• Advocate for more state and federal resources; and as we do, make sure all local budget decisions are student-centered, prioritizing currently limited resources for our highest-need students and schools.
