Until all citizens and parents residing in the Little Rock School District take responsibility for the governance of their district, regardless of where their children attend (or attended) school - public, private, charter or home - the district will not become excellent.
Until teachers are afforded a level playing field when it comes to quitting the union (currently they only have an annual two week window to resign in writing by certified mail), the district will not become excellent.
Until principals are empowered to run their schools, then held accountable for their results, the district will not become excellent.
Until athletics, music and extra curricular activities are valued in the total education of students, the district will not become excellent.
Until the district becomes student-centered instead of employee-centered, the district will not become excellent.
Until community support is generated through neighborhood schools, the district will not become excellent.
Until all children, regardless of familial support, zip code, and/or financial means, are expected to learn, the district will not become excellent.
Until the anachronistic dogma of PINOs (Progressives in Name Only) and adult agendas of special self-interests are replaced by what's best for students, the district will not become excellent.
Until excellence is valued more than sameness, the district will be...the same.
Until. Until.. Until...
