Our Mission
We are dedicated to empowering members of the District 99 community. We aim to promote educational excellence, foster equity, and expand access to opportunities for all students in District 99.
Transparency
Transparency is the foundation of a strong and accountable public education system. Parents, teachers, and community members deserve open access to information about school policies, budgets, and decision-making processes. When schools operate transparently, trust is built, collaboration thrives, and students benefit from a system that prioritizes their success.
​
We are committed to clear communication, accessible decision-making, and ensuring that every stakeholder has a voice in shaping our schools. Together, we can foster a culture of openness that empowers families, supports educators, and strengthens our entire community.
​
Equity & Opportunity
Every child, regardless of background, deserves access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success. Equity in public education means ensuring that resources, support, and opportunities are available to all students, so no one is left behind. When we invest in fair access to learning, we unlock the full potential of our students and strengthen our community.
​
We're dedicated to policies that close achievement gaps, support diverse learning needs, and provide every student with the tools they need to thrive. Together, we can create a school system where opportunity is not just a privilege, but a promise.

​
Accountability
Strong schools require strong accountability. Families, educators, and taxpayers deserve a school system that is responsible, transparent, and committed to student success. Accountability means setting high standards, measuring outcomes, and ensuring that every decision made serves the best interests of our students.
​
As a slate, we believe in responsible stewardship of resources, data-driven decision-making, and holding our schools to the highest standards. By fostering a culture of accountability, we can ensure that every child receives the education they deserve and that our community remains confident in the future of our schools.
​
Academic Excellence
Every child deserves a world-class education that challenges them, nurtures their talents, and prepares them for future success. Academic excellence is the foundation of strong schools and thriving communities. It means setting high expectations, supporting great teachers, and providing students with the resources they need to reach their full potential.

We are committed to maintaining rigorous curriculum standards, innovative teaching strategies, and ensuring that all students—regardless of background—have access to the highest quality education.
