What are our beliefs?• A quality education is a key factor in providing all children with
opportunities for their future
• It is not enough to simply complete school or receive a credential – students need critical knowledge and skills
• This is not a 12th grade or high school issue. It is an education system issue.
Quality implementation of the standards is a necessary condition for providing all students with the opportunities to be successful after high school.
