Hello residents of Duxbury
I am one of your two representatives on the Harwood Unified Union School Board. One of the things I get to do is speak to you as a neighbor and local Duxbury resident. I hope you all know that all members of the School Board are doing their best to present a budget that you can support. As we considered all the questions we know you are asking we decided to try and get the word out in answer to as many as we could. I thought the following was an important question and one that I wanted to answer.

What criteria was used by the Board in discussing reductions?
There are two key parts to the response
1. Always, at the core of our work is a dedication to maintain support for HUUSD's Mission and Vision
Our Mission - To provide quality educational programs for the children in the Harwood Unified Union School District (HUUSD) in a safe and nurturing environment. Our Central office administrators, school administrators, and school board members work together to ensure that every school and community in HUUSD provides each student with the learning opportunities needed for them to develop their potential and to gain the knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary to be productive citizens.
Our Vision - The Harwood Unified Union School District provides a rigorous, innovative and student-centered educational experience in a welcoming and inclusive environment while ensuring equity, effectiveness, and efficiency. We will partner with our community to achieve our vision for excellence.
2. The district desires to preserve student-facing positions which ensure direct support for students and educational needs. Emphasis was placed on supporting required core academic programming while maintaining a conducive learning environment.

I believe it is important that you all know the basis for the work the board does all year. When looking at every decision we make, be it educational or financial we operate from the mission and vision that guide our work. You can support that mission and vision too. All you need to do is vote YES on May 30 or before. Ballots are available at the Duxbury Town office Monday through Thursday 8-3 through May 29 or on Thursday May 30th - our classic drive through voting opportunity at the Town office from 7-7.
And finally, I am encouraging you all to vote. Duxbury had the highest turnout of all the towns in the last vote. Let's do it again! And join me in voting YES!
