I want to commend the Board of Education for its commitment to this mission, as it is through their leadership that this priority flows throughout the entire organization.As I interact with teachers, staff and principals, their passion and pride are contagious. It is easy to see how proud they are of their programs, services and collective efforts, which are intentionally focused on supporting each child’s success. Our schools are fortunate to have active PTO and PTA leadership and supportive families working alongside us as partners.
