Achieving their full potential: Leadership Development and Special Education Program Changes
A message to the community from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Charles Dupre
 Leadership development - at all levels - is one important component of the District's Core Beliefs and Commitments, and a priority for our Board of Trustees. Late last month, the Board approved the administration's staffing recommendations for the 2016-17 school year, including a new Director of Student Leadership Experience who will guide leadership development at our elementary and middle schools through strong student-led organizations such as student councils, and opportunities that include Student Leadership 101.
