Please include any other comments or concerns you have about the school district here:
I believe that Union is fortunate to have exceptional staff and leadership in every area of the district.
I don't believe we have weaknesses as much as challenges to prepare students for the ever changing standards required to graduate, which is currently being addressed.
We as a district continue to invest in as many new tools for our students as we can possibly allocate funds to provide.
I am a strong proponent that the best start for positive education begins with early childhood education, which we are providing and expanding.
It is always a challenge to involve some parents in their child's education, but Union is more fortunate than many others and will continue to reach out to all patrons.
