Superintendent Message
I remain truly impressed by the numerous activities taking place across our District. Each event, lesson, and effort encompasses the dedication and creativity of our educators, students, and staff. From innovative classroom projects to community-driven events, we are continually building a vibrant and inclusive environment for learning and growth. I am grateful for the collective efforts that make our District a place where every student can thrive. One way to capture our students’ perspectives on what is happening throughout our District is through an event we call
our “Student Voice” meetings. I had my first experience attending a meeting, and as the Superintendent, I get to facilitate the discussions from one of our comprehensive sites. For this meeting, I was at Del Oro High School while our other schools joined via a video Zoom call. The ‘discussion topic’ for this gathering was the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education. At each of our schools, the Student Board
Members are responsible for gathering a diverse array of students for meaningful discussions. Each group engages in unique conversations centered around the questions I present, and subsequently, each location has the chance to share the insights and perspectives gathered from its discussions. To say I was amazed by the collective student voices would be an understatement. These students are passionate, articulate, and incredibly insightful. They bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the table, reminding us of the importance of listening to those we serve. During the meeting, I was struck by their ability to address complex topics with maturity and a thoughtful approach, particularly when discussing the implications of AI in Education.
I also had another opportunity to connect with community members at the Auburn Rotary Club. This is another amazing group of individuals who come together to make a positive impact in our communities. Their enthusiasm and willingness to contribute to our students' successes are truly inspiring. Engaging with such dedicated community partners reinforces the importance of collaboration and shared goals, reminding us that education is a community endeavor. Together, we are fostering an environment where every student has the opportunity to excel and make a meaningful difference in the world.
