CURRENT CONCERNS
Support staff is stretched well past their capacity in order to support the increasing number of computers and need for professional development.
Intermittent infrastructure deficiencies that affect
connectivity,
communication,
curriculum delivery, and
reporting
Assemblies can rarely be attended by all students, and there is no place for a few classes to meet and share a special program.
Teaching strategies are limited by uncertainty about the consistent availability of technology. The district needs a workable replacement cycle program and budget.
Equity of access for ALL students at school and at home.
