With the approval of the five Beliefs the board affirmed to the community that the following will be held constant in all future policy decisions. 

 

 

The policy states:

• We believe all students can learn at or above grade level.
  
• We believe that the achievement gap must and can be eliminated, by each student reaching his/her learning potential.
  
• We believe schools have an enormous impact on students’ lives.
  
• We believe that all parents must be empowered to play an active role in their students’ education.
  
• We believe that community collaboration is fundamental to achieving and sustaining excellence.
  
  

These Beliefs directly impact all families as the district pledges to provide rigorous instruction designed to close the achievement gap. Additionally, the Beliefs call for families and the district to work in an effective partnership to promote the best interest of the child. Finally, schools, and the district, will be responsive and accountable to their communities.
