Strong Schools Strong Neighborhoods.

Make our neighborhood schools places people want to choose to be in rather than choose to leave.

Let’s flip the script on “School Choice.”

Right now, our district's framework often makes it seem like families should look outward, such as through focus option schools or charter schools for specialized programs, modern facilities, or robust extracurriculars.

We want to flip the script.

🛑 The Old Way (“Choice” = Choosing to Leave)

  • Families seek specialized academies outside their neighborhood.

  • Budgets follow a downward spiral as enrollment shifts away.

  • Fragmented neighborhoods with kids bused in multiple directions.

✅ The New Way (“Choice” = Choosing to Stay)

  • The school board funds diverse, high-quality programs in every local school.

  • Strategic investment stabilizes enrollment and revitalizes community pride.

  • A tight-knit community where classmates are also next-door neighbors.
