of each child. Equitable compensation and professional development for teachers;
Facilities improvements, technology and wellness initiatives; Engaging parents

A2:
An energy audit at each school should be considered to determine effective and
economical changes that can be put in place. As we renovate schools, we should
try to incorporate energy efficient ideas. We should continue to encourage
students, schools, and the community to learn and practice Green initiatives.
A3:
While the school system continues to make strides in these areas, each student
needs to achieve academic success. Good principal leadership in the schools,
working with community and school leaders, engaging parents, setting high
standards and using proven effective methods and programs will help to continue
to close those gaps.
