ISSUES

STUDENTS DESERVE OUR BEST

Historically, campaigns for school board focus on scholastics and traditional issues. This year, everything is being viewed through the lens of COVID-19 and the results of a year of remote education. It’s high time to get all of our students back in school – full time. The negative effects of remote education – failing grades, absenteeism, isolation and depression, unreported child neglect – are nearly overwhelming. We need to get our kids back full time to re-ignite their education.

IMPROVE DELIVERY OF REMOTE EDUCATION

The district has spent millions of dollars to be able to produce remote education: from neighborhood hot-spots that ensure internet accessibility to thousands of laptops and other hardware. This investment of taxpayer dollars cannot be wasted. It might be as benign as a snow-day, or it may be due to a natural disaster, but the need for remote education will return. And while it should always be our first priority to deliver in-person education, we should capitalize on the massive investments in technology that have been made by enhancing teacher training as they utilize this new resource. We owe it to our students and teachers, and we owe it to the taxpayers.

STICK TO THE BASICS

Let’s get past the politics and focus on academics. We live in a hyper-sensitive and polarized political climate. We can and should celebrate diversity and promote inclusion without succumbing to cynical political theories that segregate and divide our kids based on the color of their skin.
