District Goals and Philosophy

 

The Kester School District #23 Board of Trustees is guided by the conviction that all students are capable of achieving high standards and that they have a right to the best education this community can provide.  Responsibility for this rests with all citizens, parents, school staff and students, with the ultimate responsibility for direction and decision-making assumed by the Board of Trustees.

                               

The Board will exert leadership in creating, maintaining and improving the school for the children’s educational needs.  The focal point of concern in our school system is the student.  Organization, staffing, programming, teaching, and funding should all be developed to enhance appropriate opportunities for students to learn and develop—personally, academically and socially.  The District's Goals and Philosophy will be current and sequential curriculum will be aligned to the state standards regularly. The District’s Goals and Philosophy will drive continuous school improvement.
