Priority Goal: Top Notch School System

LEARN: GOAL 1 - Build a top notch school system known for its high quality, safe schools in every community, in which: every child graduates college and/or is career-ready; there are no discernible achievement gaps across the race, ethnic, and income levels; highly effective teachers are found in every classroom; and all students reach proficient-to-high standards at every grade level.

In the Town Meeting, a whopping 63% voted in support of this goal, making it the top priority in the LEARN Envision area.  

Another goal that received a great deal of support in the LEARN area was “Parental and Community Involvement.” This goal received 49% of the vote and emphasizes family, community and business involvement in schools as a way of enhancing the educational success of our children. Because increasing parental and community involvement in the schools is one strategy for creating a top notch school system, it has been included under this goal.  Please keep in mind that this sub-goal is now part of the overall goal of achieving a Top Notch School System and also direct your comments to what we should do to increase parental and community involvement in our schools.

The TOP NOTCH SCHOOL SYSTEM Community Action Team (CAT) will assess existing efforts in the county which support this goal, and work to identify key strategies to strengthen it.

You can help.  Please help us research the TOP NOTCH SCHOOL SYSTEM.

    What is most important for us to focus on in the near-term, with regard to accomplishing this long-term goal?
