"While we applaud gains in student performance, we must continue to focus on student achievement across all stages of our educational system. It is our obligation to provide a foundation of learning and critical thinking skills that will help our students become the self-confident, well-prepared leaders of tomorrow that they have the potential to be. We must also pay particular attention to preparing students for post-secondary education such as college and vocational school. With this in mind, we have formed a Blue Ribbon Committee, consisting of all Tehama County Superintendents who are charged with a single focus: improving student achievement. It is an issue of great importance. While we look at the social, emotional and cognitive growth of every child, our goal continues to be a partnership with parents, schools, and community that will ensure that every student achieves their potential.”
