HOBART PUBLIC SCHOOLS: DISTRICT POLICY AC
EDUCATIONAL MISSION, VISION, PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS
MISSION: Empowering all students with necessary competencies to be successful in a changing world.
VISION: Building Learners for Life.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY: The Hobart Board of Education believes that the schools are maintained to provide the opportunities of education to all of the children, the youth, and, as it may be wise and practical, to the adults of the community in accordance with the abilities, needs, and interests of each. It believes that all decisions made and actions taken concerning the schools should in every respect be directed toward the fulfillment of the above purpose. The board also believes that the abilities, needs, and interests of those who attend Hobart schools should, in so far as possible, be identified as a basis for the educational program to be provided. It believes further that, through the proper education of individuals, the educational needs of the community, the state, and the nation will be met. It recognizes that the overall goals of schools in a democratic country should come from the people themselves and be defined so that all may know what they are; that the board of education should seek the means by which these goals can be obtained; and that the professional staff of the schools should be free to perform the technical services in the ways necessary to attain these goals. It recognizes that a high degree of cooperation in the common purpose between the citizens and the agencies of the community, the board of education, the personnel of the school system, and those who attend the schools is indispensable.
EDUCATIONAL GOALS: The Hobart Board of Education has adopted the following educational goals for this school district:
1. Provide an education for the whole child through a coordinated, sequential curriculum driven by high expectations, in an environment conducive to learning designed to prepare students for further learning or productive employment. 2. Provide strong educational leadership appropriate for the mission of the school and site, aspiring toward continuous improvement of student competencies. 3. Provide functional facilities for learning.
