In order to accomplish this mission the Board of Trustees established
the following goals:
- Increase good citizenship (honesty, respect for authority, responsibility,
work ethic, self-discipline, etc.) within our student population by
empowering administrators, teachers, and staff to maintain discipline,
- Provide a safe and secure school environment,
- Teachers, students and parents to achieve Idaho’s highest test
scores and other measures of academic achievement,
- Maintain and improve the quality of district personnel,
- Improve parental involvement,
- Improve and expand school district facilities,
- Increase the emphasis on enrichment programs with a broadened exposure
to the arts and vocational studies,
- Integrate technology into all curriculums,
- To maintain appropriate teacher/student ratios at all levels,
- Provide educational resources including library, technology center,
career center, etc. as befits a premier school district.
In summary, the Melba School District believes that the development of
attitudes and ideals is a responsibility equivalent to the acquisition
of knowledge and skills. Striving for excellence in attitude and aptitude
is a way of life. Melba Schools will enhance, teach and promote this discipline
with the support of every student’s parents.
