2) What do you see as the role of the school board and the school board member? Do you have the time to commit to the position?

3) What does the Rush City School District look like to you today? Where do you see the school district 10-20 years from now?

4) Do you think it is useful to track students after graduation to see if they received the training they needed here in Rush City to help them with post graduate and future employment endeavors? Do you think a school district should be largely responsible for preparing students for life in the ìrealî world?

5) What is the most unique aspect (or greatest asset) of the Rush City School District that sets it apart from other districts. What are other strengths within the district?
