Jefferson County Board of Education Mission Statement “Our Contract with the Citizens of Jefferson County”: As members of the Jefferson County Board of Education, we will always put our children first in all that we do, as they are our future. We will work constantly to provide excellence in education in all of our schools. Our role is to ensure equality within the school system as well as excellence. We will provide the necessary leadership to ensure public faith and confidence in the Board of Education. We will be available and accountable to the citizens of this county. We will strive constantly to improve the lines of communication between the Board and the citizens as well as among the Board and the teachers, service personnel, and county office personnel. We will provide our teachers, service personnel, and county office personnel with consistent leadership and the resources, learning experiences, and support necessary to excel in their positions. We will account for every expenditure and make the school system budget available and understandable to the people of the county. We will work constantly to find alternative funds to support the budget and to enhance our school system. We will work with our school personnel to improve our curriculum and to ensure that all students in our system are meeting or exceeding grade level requirements. We will ensure that all students who go through our system are prepared for post-secondary education. We will work to fund additional programs that will enhance our students’ education. We will continue seek out the best management and educational practices to adopt throughout our school system. These may be found to exist already within the Jefferson County School System, in similar school systems throughout America, or among similar operations in the private sector. Our goal is to make the Jefferson County System a recognized leader in providing quality education.
