Public schools serve more than school-age children and their families. We all benefit in a society where every young person is encouraged to meet their full potential. Public schools provide a safe and enriching place for our youngest residents to learn and grow, regardless of their race, religion, ability, or socioeconomic status.  

Respect for community means 

• being careful stewards of public funds.

• making financially prudent decisions - saving whenever we can, spending when we must.

• actively engaging with community members to gather feedback and ideas. 

• identifying community needs that can and should be filled by the public school system.

• thinking creatively about how public-private partnerships can solve problems facing the district and the community.

• building resiliency in the district to ensure that it can serve Moscow for generations to come.
