On the November 2011 ballot, the Board of Education is asking the voters if they are willing to invest in our future and our children by supporting this Mill Levy Override.
The Board of Education has decided to place a $6 million mill levy or $1,000 per pupil override on the November 2011 ballot.
We believe that a quality public school system is the heart of this community. Rebuilding our local economy requires a strong educational system and community investment to attract new business and jobs and retain and grow existing businesses.
ECS is a state and national leader in 21st century education. We know this because we’ve:
- Been successful in recruiting and retaining highly-qualified and knowledgeable educators.
- Been one of the first districts in the country to abolish the lock-step salary schedule and successfully implement a pay-for-performance system nearly a decade before it’s become fashionable.
- Established a record of high student achievement (with data to support this claim).
- Made significant and measurable progress in closing the achievement gap that exists between minority students and non-minority students.
- Emerged as a national leader in instructional development and teacher practices.
ECS is paving the way for innovation, reform and accomplishment in public education today. Despite challenging demographics, a relatively young teaching staff, significant teacher turnover, high cost of living, declining budgets and competition from private and charter schools ECS has maintained a strong upward path of achievement.
Continued cuts in services and funding will only cause us to lose momentum on the progress we’ve made.
