Excited with the hiring of superintendent O’Malley and his ongoing work for more progressive ideas! Disappointed in the community of taxpayers who refuse their students the ability to thrive by continued segregation of wealth based private schools cloaked in the guise of religion. Having relocated from the Northeast, it is yet another reminder of unflinching antiquated ideas on what constitutes an education.
I think the district’s new administration is aware of the changes that need to make this district exceptional. However, it is important that administration recognize the value of a certain professions within the school system. For example, a speech therapist can provide instruction in phonemic awareness. A school psychologist can provide mental health services, crisis intervention services, behavioral intervention services, and academic intervention services with typically developing children. Watching these professionals only work special education limits their work in prevention science and stagnates their professional growth.
I would like to see overall cohesiveness within this district! Some elementary schools have programs (ie STEAM, Dual Language, Magnet, uniforms, new computer labs, year round school, etc) and some schools have none. Several schools are worn and torn, old buildings with inadequate lightning,
heat and cooling and just uninspiring to young minds. All FSD1 schools should mirror each other. Also, I would love if the elementary school parents were given a syllabus for students on what lessons are going to be taught for the school year. It helps to know what our kids are being taught each nine weeks. I don't like that traditional books have been replaced with downloaded sheets of paper from websites and Chromebooks with no instructions given to parents except to charge at night and return in the morning.
