a measure of compliance.
Vision for District #1-Continuous Improvement-
“I promise you that at this precise moment next year, our school district will be better or worse than it is right now. It will not be the same; the choice to improve it or let it decay is wholly and undeniably ours.”
District #1 Must “Lead the Way”
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
