Financial and bond measure accountability must be provided to our community. Likewise, we must work to: maintain high performance standards and strive to reach them; ensure program accountability; keep education dollars as close to students in the classroom as possible; foster understanding of the need for community involvement with schools and use community resources; provide a safe, drug-free environment; and encourage an atmosphere of mutual respect and promote a repsonsive, compassionate and open-minded attitude. I've kept channels of communication open to all and made myself accessible.
