A Note From Edgewood's New Superintendent

I want to thank all of you for the welcoming spirit you have extended to me as the new superintendent of the Edgewood City School District. I am focused on spending time in the Edgewood communities and our school district visiting each school and many of our classrooms in order to personally get to know and build positive relationships with our students, parents, staff, and community. You will find that I will be visible and easily accessible, which I believe is extremely important. I look forward to working with you as we continue our journey to provide an excellent education so all our students will have the opportunity to achieve to their fullest potential. In the coming year, we will be focusing on continued improvement in teaching and learning, increased cost efficiency, and strengthening partnerships between our schools and communities.

We can take great pride in the accomplishments of our Edgewood students. I believe that continuous improvement in student learning is dependent upon providing a rigorous curriculum; bringing relevance to student instruction, and building positive relationships. Student involvement in school-related activities is also a key factor in student success, which we encourage and support. However, it has become an even greater challenge to provide the best educational opportunities to all our students, as a result of the financial crisis that is facing our State.

Cost effectiveness is critical to provide adequate funds to support a high quality educational program. Last year we spent $1572.00 per student less than the state average, which resulted in $6,037,656.00 in savings based on our enrollment of 3831 students. I can assure you, the emphasis is being intensified to increase cost efficiency in all aspects of operating our Edgewood City School District.

Research has shown that partnerships between the school, home, and community promote student success. Through our strategic planning process, we will continue to encourage these relationships and to improve communications to the benefit of our young people.

I am confident you will share my commitment to each student achieving to his or her fullest potential. A school is a place with tomorrow inside, thank you again for continuing to provide our Edgewood students the best tomorrows possible.

I encourage your thoughts, ideas, and questions.
