Jennifer's New Ideas

TRANSPARENCY: School board meeting agendas, minutes, and financial reports should be posted and archived on the school district's website for public review and accountability.

TRAFFIC SAFETY: School traffic congestion on the Danville Bypass and Woodlawn/BCMS campuses must be resolved for the safety of our school children and their drivers, especially before the new KY 2168 Connector brings a new flow of school traffic on the Bypass from the north.

JOBS: Children must be educated today to be ready to work in tomorrow's jobs. All education is "vocational education" as it must prepare a child to succeed in the workplace.
