Esteemed Riverside Board of Education, I’m Elijah, a student in the 9th grade. Several years ago, I joined DCS in hopes of finding education that suited my learning style. At once, I could see that it was precisely what I needed to progress in my schooling. DCS is an exceptionally well run school. I attend the weekly resource center classes in my region, and have been thoroughly enjoying them. The teachers are just fantastic, and they really care about what they teach their students. The school has the general atmosphere of a healthy, organized community, and looking at the skills that many of the students there have portrayed, one can easily see that they will be well prepared for their lives after graduation. It is my opinion that

As you begin a concerted effort to change the culture of your district and tackle the achievement gap
Education is the best way to continue the revolution started by Mr. Adams and others. I work hard to achieve good grades and I devote countless hours to tutoring others to ensure their success as well. I work, plan, build, and dream in order to achieve the success God has planned. With hard work and courage, I will make a difference in this world that will benefit many. PSM symbolizes a learning torch for many children who come from all walks of life as it provides a vigorous education, a safe environment, and a platform to push oneself beyond perceived limits. Mr. Adams hires passionate teachers who care about our learning and well-being. In return, we demonstrate our appreciation by attending prestigious colleges, making noticeable contributions to society, and returning to talk to the new up and coming PSM students. I admire Mr. Adams and all of the righteous undertakings he has endured. And just like Mr. Adams, I plan to pass the torch on to the next generation yet to
Although it may not be the biggest school, with the most students I think that gives it an edge over other schools. This small town school gives knowledge that goes beyond the classroom and opens doors in the community that

Manhattan Beach Unified School District is often lauded as an “exemplary” school district due to the relative degree of achievement in its extracurricular activities, its electives’ successes, and its objectively high API (Academic Performance Index) score. This, however, is a misnomer. Manhattan Beach Unified School District, particularly Mira Costa High School, is lacking in a variety of sectors.
On July 25,2016, I attended the Kilgore Independent School Board meeting. I noticed that besides the board members there were not very many people in attendance. There were two students, myself included, a former KISD students father talking about the FFA, five faculty members, and a reporter. I was not sure what to expect at this meeting since I had never attended one before and unfortunately I do not think that I would ever willingly attend another, unless it was relevant to my child.
While working with Lindley Habilitation Services and Gateway Education Center, I’ve had a lot more successes. I’ve learned how to handle situations that I never thought I would encounter and I’ve learned how to overcome obstacles I didn’t even know existed. I hope to continue my work and education to advance even further in my experience so I’m able to assist my community and beyond in the best way that I can. In today’s society, it can often be very difficult for students to get the education they need to accomplish their
This paper is a summary of findings and opinion of the author regarding a visit to Desoto Consolidated School District #86 regular board meeting on October 24, 2016. Desoto school district is comprised of one school building located in Desoto, Illinois. The district has only one school building which houses students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.

The board of education consists of seven members who meet on a monthly basis to set and oversee policy, finances and hiring of employees.
To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California, to the Earl Woods Scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues.
It is my honor and privilege to work alongside the many current and previous school-based coordinators that paved the way to our 25th year. For a quarter of a century, many Kentucky schools have had access to the services provided by the FRYSC program and have witnessed positive outcomes for students, families, and local communities.
Through partnering with organizations that are already addressing this issue, we could bring this awareness internationally, but for now we will be aiming towards national. Other interactions that would help with our initiative would be reaching college students, especially those who had lacked the resources in their early education. Interacting with the Board of Education is another way we could make aware of our social impact initiative. Many of other organizations are using Education as their social impact initiative, but are are using for a different purpose. Although we may be able to bring something new to the table, it makes it hard for us to find people to fund us. Other organization are also looking for the same funds, but only
As I peered through the window of opportunity, which I thought would be an easy adventure, time and dedication surely proved me mistaken. One average senior-high day, I walk into the Human Services classroom and sit down at my desk. The class writes the daily five minute prompt about the service we are hoping to be involved in for FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) called, STAR (Student Taking Action with Recognition) events. After the prompt, the class sets up the desks to have our monthly FCCLA meeting. I, being the President, began the meeting with any house-keepings that needs to be discussed. Next, we progress the discussion to our chapter’s current funds and finally begin to go into detail about STAR events. In an organized manner, we list the events and information pertaining to which people are planning on working in each group.
