Not trying to change many things all at once. Address some of the negative comments and try to get on a positive page - "one for all and all for one" type of coming together to support each other both in the classroom and outside the classroom.

what does the data say?? How many have moved out of the district?  How many are homeschooling?  How many are living in district and going to Davenport school?  How many are doing online school option?  How many are not doing anything-just staying home??  Let's look at data
