Families deserve Paid Maternity Leave for all BDS Employees.
Families are an integral part of the community. When we engage with families, we can build stronger connections between schools and the neighborhoods they serve. These connections enhance trust, communication, and collaboration.
Families advocate for their children’s education. When we recognize and appreciate the role of families, they can work together to prioritize student success. Family input helps shape decisions related to curriculum, resources, and student support.
Families provide valuable insights into the diverse needs of students. When we actively involve families we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges students face. This understanding informs decision-making and ensures that policies address real-world issues.

Standing up and having the courage to make ethical decisions for the betterment of all of our students including the special needs population
School board members serve as trustees of the public education system. Demonstrating integrity builds trust with the community, parents, students, and educators. When board members act with honesty and transparency, they enhance their credibility and foster confidence in their decision-making.
School board members are role models for students and staff. Upholding high ethical standards sets an example for everyone in the educational community. When board members exhibit integrity, they encourage similar behavior among students and staff.
School boards manage budgets, allocate funds, and oversee district operations. Integrity is crucial in handling financial matters transparently, avoiding conflicts of interest, and ensuring that resources are used efficiently for educational purposes.

Working together takes everyone from the educators, administrators, parents and students to make the education dream come to fruition.
Transforming “Us-Them” to “We”: Often, the parent-teacher relationship defaults to an “us-them” mindset. Together we can encourage a shift toward a collaborative perspective. For instance, when parents express concerns about a teacher, school leaders can use the opportunity to build the partnership rather than mediating conflict.
Strengthening relationships between home and school requires perpetual effort. Teachers are on the front lines of this endeavor. By intentionally nurturing the parent-school partnership, teachers contribute to a sense of teamwork.
Research shows that parent engagement positively impacts student success. Encouraging teamwork between schools and parents helps improve communication and achieve common goals
