What are the top issues facing this board/council and how would you resolve them?

Maintaining a top level education with less funding from the state. I believe the education of our children should not be sacrificed just because we live in rural Lafayette County. We need to work with neighboring districts to possibly share staff or form education co-ops. We also should pursue online courses to expand our curriculum.
