Student Achievement - Develop, implement, teach and assess a competitive instructional program for all grade levels.

Communication - Improve board, administration, staff and community relations.

Financial - Maintain and strenghten the financial condition of the school district.

School Safety - Study, recommend and implement policy, practice, and physical plant updates that improve student safety.
