Reassurance in the Midst of District Turmoil
By now I'm sure that you have heard about what is going on with the Douglas County School Board. STEM is self-governed by our very own nine-member elected Board of Directors that is composed of Parent and Community volunteer members. Seven are current or past STEM parents and two have young children not yet school age.
The issues with the DCSD Board are complex and rooted in political beliefs about unions and their role in education. The accusations that have played out in the headlines and TV this week are not always as they are reported. Time will tell what the impact will be, but my hope is that the DCSD Board can return to functioning as one unit to do what is best for students and staff. Click here to read more
