A community that overcomes continuing hardships and skepticism, and embraces a full breadth of educational opportunities for children shows a great commitment to the core values and principles of a great society. I am especially proud to be part of the Elwood Community this morning.
Our mission continues, but while we may take a day to breathe a sigh of relief after a budget season filled with tension and anxiety, we must wake up tomorrow morning and take steps to bring forward the reforms and embrace changes that will keep public education vital.
There are those that will look backward into the past and long for how things used to be; nevertheless, we must ask everyone to stand up in a collaborative effort and establish new legislation, practices, and a business model that will further improve upon the education of our children while maintaining a sustainable financial model for current and future generations of children and new, committed educators.
Lastly, congratulations to two new BOE Trustees, Bill Gutekunst, and Mike LaMena, who got the calling to make a long-term commitment, step off the sidelines, and take a decisive role in the school community. Messrs Gutekunst and LaMena will bring a thoughtful, independent perspective to the Board of Education and we welcome them to the team.
On behalf of all 2,645 students of Elwood Schools – THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
