We value effective teachers and believe that they are one of the most critical factors in determining student success. We work to provide supplemental resources and opportunities that inspire excellence in their profession.

We value equity and the potential of all students and believe we have a specific duty to enhance the academic achievement of those who are struggling the most.

We value diverse community voices, especially those of students and their families and believe that collaborative engagement of the community and schools is necessary to create a vibrant public school system.

We value community investment and believe that our role is to be good stewards of the community's assets.

We are honest, transparent, and accountable.
