I believe in being honest with this community, especially when the decisions in front of us are difficult.

Over the past several weeks, I have read your emails, listened to your comments, and heard the deep concern so many of you have shared. I have felt the emotion, the urgency, and the care behind every message. Your hopes for this district are my hopes as well.

This is a difficult moment, and it requires honesty, responsibility, and a clear path forward.

We are facing a significant budget shortfall that requires real solutions and a responsible path forward. My focus remains the same. Protecting our students, maintaining the strength of our schools, and ensuring long term stability for this district.

I encourage you to take a few minutes to read my full letter and understand the facts, the challenges, and the path ahead.
