School ChoiceBy Gary TomakCandidate for Board Member; Desert Sands Unified School District | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
Parents and their children should be offered a wide variety of high quality educational programs which best fit their needs and desires.Offering greater school choices often sparks a greater interest in learning. Desert Sands has been recognized by the US Department of Education as a model for school choice programs. I will work to expand the alternatives we have developed which include: a new charter school for middle school students; the high rigorous International Baccalaureate Program; magnet school programs encompassing pre-medicine, pre-law, communications, and the performing arts; the recently developed robotics program; independent study and on-line learning programs; and, career academies in culinary arts, medicine, and public service. I will continue to modernize classrooms with state-of-the-art technology; enhance programs in music, art, and the performing arts; and, improve facilities for athletic programs. |
