Teachers deserve a fair opportunity to teach and inspire. Students deserve to be heard and prepared for a world that’s constantly changing. Our community deserves transparency, trust, and leadership that listens.

Progress Forward
Now more than ever, we need leaders who understand both the value of education and the heart of the D11 community. There is a bright future for community ownership of our educational processes.

Valuing Educators
Our teachers and school staff are the backbone of our education ecosystem. We need to attract and retain high-quality educators and support school environments that encourage them to implement data-supported practices that help our students learn and thrive.

Students First
In D11, we have students with a wide range of abilities and challenges. Utilizing teachers' expertise and data-supported strategies to help them improve their learning skills and increase their access to educational and career opportunities.

Parent Empowerment
Parents are essential partners to our educators and are welcome participants in developing the educational ecosystem for D11 students. Parents and guardians need to have access to transparent information about district education outcomes, financial decisions, and student policies.
