The school district will actively engage all segments of the

community to provide a well-articulated, learner-centered

curriculum that results in high achievement for all students

from early childhood through secondary. The curriculum will

be facilitated by a highly qualified professional staff that

supports effective instruction with a strong focus on reading

and math literacy. Quality facilities and learning resources,

that include professional learning communities and a

continuous learning ethic, will be supported while maintaining

fiscal soundness and promoting positive morale.

Request for Proposal & Budget

“In today's [educational] environment, virtually all information is stored electronically. Because networked computing is so common, legitimate

users have greater access to information than ever before. Unfortunately, this also exposes organizations to a variety of new threats that can affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Organizations

need a way to understand their information risks and to create new strategies for addressing those risks.”
