KingS Community for Education Integrity - the hills we die on:
- PARENT CHOICE Parents are the first and final authority regarding their child's physical, social-emotional and spiritual health.
- FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY Taxpayers must be respected with responsible spending of their tax dollars to deliver excellent education to Kings students. This requires full transparency of line item expenses, realistic projections of future growth, and reasonable approaches to accommodate that growth.
- FULL TRANSPARENCY with parents and taxpayers of how the board conducts its business. This requires discussing board business in public meetings so the reasoning behind the decisions can be shared.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is teaching our children to judge each other, and themselves, based on the color of their skin. Most parents object to this type of training for their children.
- CRT is often called by different names.
- Most school boards say CRT is not taught in their district's classrooms.
- These same schools are teaching concepts such as the 1619 view of American History, equity over equality, merit-based achievement is racist, white fragility, white supremacy, systemic racism as the foundation of, and unavoidable condition of, our local police force, our entire court system, the US Constitution, capitalism and our representative form of government.
- CRT embeds the narrow lens of racism, paired with far left political indoctrination, into English, Social Studies, History, Science and Math K-12 classes across the USA.
- Under Kings' current 5-year forecast, KLSD is headed for a $19 million deficit by 2025.
- We can achieve excellence while controlling costs.
- Good stewardship over finances requires sunlight.
- Let's take a close look at current expenses and the 5-year plan to make sure we understand the funding sources and expenses.
Most schools in Kings receive high grades on the Ohio Report Card, but one school, and two specific demographics in all schools, are consistently lagging behind.
- We need to find out why and fix it.
- Exceptional educational opportunities for each of our schools, and all student demographics, is not negotiable.
