We cannot talk about the state of our city without recognizing the central importance of our schools.
Families must have confidence that their kids will get the education they need to succeed in life. Good
schools are also a key part of our economic development strategy because businesses need to know
that we are graduating students who have the skills to perform in the workplace.
