At their meeting on Tuesday, November 27, the School Board adopted the five priorities listed for the 2013 Legislative Session. These priorities will become working tools for conversations with elected officials from the Hillsboro area, and with legislative leaders in key committee assignments and leadership roles at the state and federal level.
The use of consistent priorities also makes it possible for individual Board members to participate in the process while maintaining a common voice with their fellow Directors. Additional details are available in the 2013 Legislative Priorities document.
The Hillsboro School District Board of Directors is committed to providing a comprehensive education to all students, governing the District strategically to maximize resources, and ensuring that the highest quality staff and instructional programs are available to realize the goal of all students graduating prepared for success in college or career.
