With more families moving into our town, as a group we need to meet the needs of these families and the children that will be in our classrooms. Also, another issue we will be facing is being able to provide the proper resources for teachers to help their students achieve a level of competency in each of the subjects taught to them. A third struggle we will be facing is the budget and money that we will be able to provide to our schools and students. As a group, we need to fi nd as many diff erent ways to gain enough money to help students learn, provide resources to teachers and increase the pay of our staff so we as a district will be able to keep excellent teachers who work so hard in our classrooms. As a committee we need to be committed in helping all students and their teachers to reach a level of success in our district. If we are able to sit and communicate these issues, we will be able to come up with solutions to overcome these struggles. This is what I would love to be able to do, to sit and communicate and come up with possible solutions to help all of our families.
