What will it mean for schools to be great today, for a better tomorrow for
our children?

We know our students will not only have to graduate, their diplomas will have to
be passports for a very different future.

What will the workplace of the future look like and how can we prepare our students today?

We know today’s students will have to create their jobs, not look for jobs
as we did.
They will compete with others around the globe.
They will have jobs replaced by outsourcing and technology if their
skills are easily replicated or duplicated.

We must customize the education of every child, building
students’ capacity to be a champion of their own learning.

Critical Need:
More competitive pay for our employees
We will continue to advocatewith the state legislature to
make employee salaries more competitive
nationally and versus neighboring states
Our budget timeline requires that we submit our budget request to the county priorto state funding decisions

Critical Need: Greater academic choice and personalization for students
We must provide personalized experiences that meet theirunique learning needs and
interests and prepare them for the workforce of tomorrow.
Our students will have to create jobs, not look for them.
They will compete with others around the globe.

Critical Need:More school and student support services
Every child can learn at high levels
Many of our students, regardless of socio-economic circumstance, come to school with challenges
that can impede learning –challenging family dynamics, mental
illness, homelessness, poverty or others
To unlock every child’s full potential, we must address
social and emotional needs as well as academic ones

Critical Need: Increased literacy supports for young learners

Children who are not strong readers by third grade are 4X more likely to drop out of school.
26% of children who are not proficient readers and live in poverty fail to graduate.

The need for more funding is real
• Student enrollment is growing+ nearly 10,000 in four years
• Operating costs are increasing i.e. utilities, utilities taxes, health insurance and retirement
• Operating costs have exceeded budget growthSince FY09, total budget +$48 million (+4%) while benefit costs +$61 million (+45%)
• State-mandated program costs are rising i.e. PowerSchool $800,000
• Fewer dollars for new initiatives

our great state, with regard to how it values education…we on a local level have the opportunity to
