Description
The mission of the Attleboro Public Schools is “to develop and deliver relevant learning experiences that engage, challenge, and inspire all students to maximize their unique potential and improve our world”.
Our Mission is a promise that our leaders, Attleboro Public Schools and the Community made to our students and our educators. The entire community was involved in the writing of this mission. Students, teachers, administrators, parents, grandparents and friends believe in this mission. It is our duty to deliver this promise to our children, to the community… How can we hold true to the promise of this mission with the proposed cuts that are looming in our future? We simply cannot.
Our children and educators deserve fully staffed and funded schools that provide them with the necessary resources to provide exemplary education. We will not stand by and allow budget cuts and layoffs to over 60 educators resulting in larger, already overcrowded classrooms, to happen and be able to provide the education that is deserved and promised! As residents of Attleboro, it is our duty to hold our politicians, at both a local and state level, and school committee accountable in highly prioritizing and funding education to ensure that our children are provided with the necessary tools to become flourishing members of our community and society as a whole.
Better schools are the turning point and center of a great city. Quality schools lead to higher property values, less crime, and better health of the community, as referenced by a School Committee Member during the April 11, 2016 school committee meeting, while noting past studies throughout the country. Communities whose leaders have made education a priority and have flourishing and properly funded schools (example: Mansfield and Sharon) which have a trickle down effect of higher property values, higher median income and are more desirable communities.

A strong education system is imperative to avoid physical deficiencies.

Again, this is not the appropriate vehicle to communicate with the City of Attleboro as it relates to this particular topic. This issue will be left open- however it is not assigned to anyone, as this tool is not designed for such issues. You're welcome to leave your comments; however, you're encouraged to email Mayor Dumas directly at Mayor@CityofAttleboro.us for attention in this matter, as this issue will no longer be monitored.
Thank you again for using SeeClickFix
