Mission

  • Students

    • Ensure that best practices are being met for student achievement

      • This includes using the most effective and efficient learning platforms that will help students build lifelong learning skills.

    • Reevaluate the amount of time that students are engaged in 1:1 technology

      • While 1:1 technology is important and useful, be sure that we are using it the right way and not promoting unhealthy habits.

    • Give students a voice in issues that they are facing in Shelbyville Central Schools.

      • This could be through a student representative visiting the board to tackle issues.

  • Teachers

    • Indiana is facing a major teacher shortage. We must ensure that we are an attractive district to bring the best to our schools.

      • This includes giving teachers prioritized choice in preschool and daycare options.

    • Work to make sure that current teachers felt that their voices are being heard by working with the local union to make sure needs are being met.

    • Provide avenues of mentorship and professional development for teachers to feel supported in their content areas and profession.

  • Everyone

    • Approach school population growth in an efficient way

      • With hundreds of new homes being built in Shelbyville, we need to approach configuring facilities in a way that will benefit the long-term families of SCSC and new families to the district. The way we bring that perspective is by having board members who will be directly impacted by the decisions, either by currently having students in the district or in the near future.

    • More transparency in the board

      • Providing a way for community members to view meetings from their homes with recordings provided. Board minutes are only so helpful in addressing the tone and inflection that issues receive at meetings.

    • Provide more interaction between the board and the people they serve

      • More events where board members are present and accessible for people to discuss or provide feedback on what is happening in SCSC.
