“Our schools can and must make an enormous difference in our students’
lives, but they cannot do it alone. The entire community—schools, district,
families, partners, business—is collectively responsible for the success of our
students.
Our schools must serve our community, and our community must support
our schools. School support for community and community support for
schools increases our social capital and ultimately the success of our
students.”*

“Our job is to teach the students we have.
Not the ones we would like to have. Not
the ones we used to have. Those we have
right now. All of them.”
