My priority is to continue working toward providing
excellent public schools where all children thrive personally and learn at the
highest academic levels. Our progress shows improved test and assessment
results, increased enrollments in rigorous classes, reduced dropout rates,
increased district enrollment, and local and national recognition of our
schools. We have more clearly identified the skills and knowledge that every
student should receive and work to hold our organization accountable for that
by: ongoing assessment of all student learning, quality professional
development, adequate material and support for classrooms, effective budgeting,
specific evaluations of all personnel and constant analysis of programs. The
Bellevue community supported our levy with a 79% yes vote and also bonds for
many new schools. Due to good fiscal management the financial institutes have
given us the highest district fiscal rating in the state. We will continue to
work for stable, adequate state funding.
