Priorities

High Expectations:

High expectations for academic and social-emotional growth will prepare our youth for life after graduation. We must empower our students to meet these expectations and define their own path to success in college, career and beyond.

Safe Schools:

Schenectady's students and teachers deserve to work and learn in a safe, supportive environment. Our values of mutual respect and dignity should ground our efforts to ensure that all members of our community feel secure and valued.

Parent Voice:

Parents, family members, and caregivers play an essential role in supporting their children's education. We should empower them to actively participate in school decision making and recognize them as unique assets who can enrich the education of all students.
