Making Every School Exceptional

Our kids are the future of our city and society, and they deserve and demand every opportunity to thrive. Every school must be exceptional, and must meet the needs of every young person that walks in their doors. From improving indoor air and getting school nurses and social workers into every single school, to ensuring that school curricula are properly preparing young people for the jobs of the future, our children deserve the best.
