Message
from the Superintendent
Dr. Joseph Siano
The
Norman Public Schools Board of Education has called for a 43
million-dollar bond
issue election to be held Tuesday, December 11, 2007.
Revenue from this bond
issue will
enable the district to continue its efforts to maintain and improve
facilities,
giving students the best possible environment for learning. The
district
will also be able to enhance instruction for our students through the
purchase
of new technology, equipment, and instructional materials.
Each student in our
district deserves
the opportunity to learn in facilities that stimulate growth.
Classes
need to be taught in safe, secure, and well-maintained
facilities. Our
teachers must have modern technology and instructional materials
available to
them as they strive to meet the challenges of providing a quality
education for all students.
We appreciate your support
of the
Norman Public Schools and your interest in maintaining high standards
and a
quality education for all students.
