Core Value: Community Partnerships
We believe providing a quality education for our children is a shared responsibility, fostered by partnerships among the schools, families, businesses and the community at-large.

Overarching Goal: Strengthen partnerships with local charitable organizations.

Summary of Current Status FY12: MERSD benefits from strong community support. A number of giving organizations provide financial supports that allow for extra-curricular and enrichment activities as well as providing funding for investments in classroom technology. Our work going forward centers on strengthening these partnerships by aligning giving efforts with the districts strategic plan.
