Dear Scott Families,
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our Black Excellence Evening. It was truly inspiring to see our community come together to celebrate the brilliance, history, and achievements of our students. Your engagement and presence are what make Scott such a vibrant place to learn, and I am deeply grateful for the energy you brought to that celebration.
Regarding the upcoming school year, I know there is a great deal of information circulating in the news and from the district concerning budget cuts and staffing. I want to reassure you that Scott is in a very fortunate position; we were not as severely impacted as many might fear. Based on the priorities you shared during our February Cafecito—specifically the importance of maintaining our math interventionists, social worker, and reading interventionists—as well as staff feedback highlighting our climate and behavior specialists, we have worked hard to protect the heart of our programming.
While we are facing a few minor reductions, our overall staffing outlook remains very steady. I am confident that we will be able to provide nearly the same level of high-quality service and support that our community expects. I will share more concrete details with you later this spring as our projections are finalized. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we plan for another great year.
Warmly,
Tiana
