While we still have an uphill road ahead of us, we have started to raise the bar of excellence for our children. I invite the public to review the evidence of the work that my team and I have accomplished by analyzing the data included in my evaluation. The information points to the great gains we have made and highlights the areas in which we will continue to work to make improvements.”
