Board of School Trustees Guiding Principles

• All students can achieve, learn, and succeed irrespective of their circumstances.
• Students share responsibility for their learning.
• Each student is entitled to an excellent education that meets his or her individual learning needs.
• All students who are willing to work hard have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs necessary to reach their full potential, to succeed, and to contribute in a diverse global society.

We track our progress of goals aligned to seven areas of focus:

• Students with disabilities.

College and Career Readiness
