• Have educators who are enthusiastic and passionate about their teaching.

• Implement well-rounded academic programs.

• Provide students with proper tools, higher expectations and a variety of opportunities to meet individual needs.

District administrators and board members plan to use the feedback for future goals, budgets, strategic planning and other decisions with the district.

"We'll use it as an evaluation of what we are currently doing," said Alpine District Superintendent Vernon Henshaw. "You have to be in sync with the public. You don't have to agree with everything but you have to come together and see how to work together for the best of the children."
