The 2018 — 19 Proposed Budget is premised on
achieving three primary goals: academic achievement; student,
family and community
engagement; and
effective and efficient operations.
According to the Coalition, all students can
achieve high levels of learning if 1) the school has a core instructional program with qualified teachers, a challenging curriculum, and high expectations for all students; 2) students are motivated and engaged in learning — both in school and in community settings; 3) the basic physical, mental, and emotional health needs of young people and their
families are recognized and addressed; 4) mutual respect and
effective collaboration take place among parents,
families, and school staff; and 5) community
engagement, together with school efforts, promote a school climate that is safe, supportive, and respectful and that connects students to a broader learning community.
