Suggested Characteristics of a New Waukesha Superintendent

Waukesha Taxpayer's League:

The WTL was asked by the Waukesha School District what three criteria we would be looking for in a new superintendent. Here is our response.

1. Strong fiscally conservative background with a desire to be creative in finding solutions to budget woes other than referendums and new fees. Stability is a must to protect the children and deliver a high quality of education.

2. Knowledge and belief in charter and virtual schools including but not limited to "IQ academies". These are great tools to address different learning styles, abilities and interests of children so they can succeed.

3. Belief in high academic standards in the core subjects to be competitive not only locally but worldwide. We have a worldwide economy and thus must deliver an education that will allow our children to compete worldwide.
