Leadership Corner A message from Rick lllolitor Superintendent As we transition back from Thanksgiving, I can’t help but reflect on how fortunate I feel to work in a community that values and supports education. Your vote to pass the recent school bond gave our district team a renewed sense of hope and encouragement. This dedicated team of educators and staff is working hard during tough financial and political times. They are doing more with less and it shows as we continue to see improvements in student achievement. l am particularly thankful to share that we recently reached an agreement on a new contract for our teachers. The School Board approved the contract this week and was happy to be able to provide modest financial increases to all of our dedicated employees. One of our biggest challenges has been to protect a reserve budget that will allow us to maintain programs, staffing levels and supportive employee contracts in the face of future budget challenges. That said, I’d like to thank all of our employees for their participation and cooperation during negotiations this year. As we move into 2013, we need input from parents, families and community members to help us with the planning and construction funded by the school bond. There will be many opportunities for you to hear what’s going on and tell us your thoughts as well. Please take the time to attend some of the upcoming community meetings so we can hear from you. You are also welcome to get in touch with me any time for more information. Thank you again for helping to make JCSD a better place for our children to learn. I wish you all a happy and safe winter.
