Transparency and Accountability: Keys to Better School Board

The key to a successful and effective school board lies in two important principles: transparency and accountability. These values are essential in ensuring that the board operates in the best interest of students, families, and the community as a whole.

Transparency is about being open and honest in all actions and decisions. It means providing clear and easily accessible information to the public about how decisions are made, what factors are considered, and what the outcomes are. When a school board operates with transparency, it builds trust with the community and fosters a sense of collaboration and partnership. Accountability goes hand in hand with transparency. It means taking responsibility for the board's actions and decisions, and being answerable to the community for the outcomes. A school board that embraces accountability is committed to evaluating its performance, learning from mistakes, and continuously improving to better serve the needs of students and families. The "Imagine Better LMSD" slate of school board candidates is dedicated to promoting transparency and accountability within the board. By prioritizing these values, the slate aims to bring about positive change and improvement in the school district. In addition to focusing on issues such as special education and addressing antisemitism, the slate recognizes the importance of open communication and accountability in building a strong and inclusive school community. By electing candidates who value transparency and accountability, voters can help create a school board that is responsive to the needs of all students and families. Together, we can work towards a brighter future for our schools and our community.
