The Board of Education, working collaboratively with the Superintendent, supports the following 2007-2010 goals for the DeKalb County School System.
GOALS 2007-2010- To narrow the achievement gap and improve the graduation rate by creating a high performance learning culture in all schools and sites.
- To increase rigor and academic achievement in Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies in preK-12.
- To ensure quality personnel in all positions.
- To ensure fiscal responsibility in order to maintain safe and healthy learning environments that support academic programs, resources and services.
For the 2009-2010 school year, the theme is “Raising the Bar: Making a Difference.” We chose this theme because as we continue to see improvements at our schools, we must be careful to not become complacent. We are also calling this school year, “the year of the parent”. We must re-engage parents and show them how their children benefit from their active parental involvement in their schools. Working together, we will move DeKalb once again to premier status. Thank you for your continued support of our children and our school system.
Sincerely,
Crawford Lewis, Ph.D. |
