EDUCATIONAL  PHILOSOPHY /
DISTRICT  MISSION

The District was established by the state legislature, under the authority contained in the Arizona State Constitution and statute, for the sole purpose of providing an education to the students of the District.  The District's prime function is to provide technical education courses based on the requirements prescribed in A.R.S. 15-391.

Staff

The Governing Board fulfills its responsibility for the education of District students by employing first a competent Superintendent, on whose recommendation it also employs a competent staff.  As a condition of this employment, the Governing Board expects each staff member's best efforts to be exerted toward the accomplishment of the educational objectives of the District. 

Parents

The Governing Board recognizes that the ultimate responsibility for the well-being of all students rests with their parents.   Parents are expected to cooperate in the District's educational effort by ensuring maximum student attendance, by requiring student cooperation in the educational endeavor of the District, and by fostering student attitudes that recognize the importance of education.

Community

The resources necessary to provide education for District students are provided by members of the community through their taxes and other supporting services.  The Governing Board's goal is that all members of the community, both individually and through their governmental, civic, and social organizations, will continue to support the educational activities of the District.

Students

The career and technical education program is an opportunity provided to the students of the District by their community.  The Governing Board expects that all District students will learn to recognize the value of this opportunity, and will therefore work diligently to help ensure that their maximum potentials are realized.  The Governing Board further expects that all District students will recognize that their fellow District students have the right to be educated, and will avoid any action that may interfere with their ability to exercise that right.

The Governing Board believes that education should develop habits, attitudes, understanding, and skills necessary for a productive, satisfying life in our society.  Students should be taught to understand the duties and privileges of responsible citizenship as such duties and privileges relate to themselves as individuals and to the whole community.  The vast changes brought about by increasing technology, population, and urbanization must also be taught.  The input and support of the citizens of the community, and especially the professional staff, are solicited as the District community endeavors to develop the attitudes and abilities demanded in this age of rapid change.

In consideration of the accomplishment of these responsibilities by each sector of the District communities identified in Exhibit AA-E, the Governing Board, with the concurrence of each individual Governing Board member, pledges its best efforts to ensure that the District is governed effectively and efficiently so that the goal of an appropriate and outstanding educational experience is available for all students of the District.
