President, Baldwin-Whitehall School District School Board of Directors
As we begin the new school year, I would like to welcome back
and offer my best wishes to all of our students and staff for a
successful school year. The start of a new school year brings the
excitement and promise of new friends, new teachers, and most
importantly new and exciting opportunities for students to learn. I
am hopeful that all of our students take advantage of the endless
possibilities that the Baldwin-Whitehall School District has to offer.
As we embark on a new school year, the Board of School
Directors remains committed to our goals, and we will continue
to ensure our students receive all of the tools necessary to be
successful learners. We have set the stage for funding future
technology initiatives and we will continue to embrace the
importance of technology and its role in enhancing the learning
process. Along with providing a quality education, comes the
responsibility of long-term financial management. The Board will
continue to make fiscally responsible decisions that protect our
taxpayers and offer the least amount of impact on the education
of our students.
We will continue to work diligently to strengthen our
relationship with the community by cultivating and maintaining
partnerships with community leaders, businesses, support
groups, and most of all parents. We understand that community
involvement is vital for effective school functioning and

educational excellence and we will continue to look for new ways
to improve communication. We value and respect our community
as our greatest asset.
While working toward meeting our goals, the Board faces a
multitude of challenges, including future funding and budgetary
concerns. However, we will continue to evaluate our o perations
and explore ways to maximize efficiency as well as protect and
maintain our current resources.
We invite you to visit our website at www.bwschools.net
and learn about all of the new and exciting things happening
within our District. We also invite you to attend the Community
Advancement and Development Committee meetings, which are
held on the second Wednesday of each month from 6-7 p.m. at
Whitehall Elementary School, and as always, we welcome you to
attend the Baldwin-Whitehall School Board meetings, held the first
two Wednesdays of the month, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The education of our youth is essential to our future and the
Board values and appreciates the talents of our staff who continue
to inspire and empower our students to learn. On behalf of the
Baldwin-Whitehall Board of School Directors, I would like to thank
our staff of administrators, teachers, and service workers whose
daily contributions make a positive difference in the lives of our
students.
