• the purpose of public education is to provide opportunities for all students to develop the attributes needed to be critical, creative thinkers, life-long learners, and responsible citizens in a global community.

• that developing the intellectual, social and emotional dimensions of students through the arts is as critical as career and academic development.

• that the curriculum should be supported by technology.

• teaching is both an art and a science that requires knowledge, skill, enthusiasm, and a research based approach that will instill in all students a strong desire for continuous learning.

• that facilities should enhance learning.

• that teachers, staff, and administrators must be supported in their commitment to district, building, and classroom improvements through staff development.
