  Dear Indian Prairie Community,

As someone who has spent the past 30 years working in Indian Prairie, I have come to truly love our community and I am humbled by the opportunity to serve as your superintendent. In each of my roles over the past three decades -- teacher, assistant principal, principal, and deputy superintendent, I have been fortunate to witness an incredible level of parent involvement and I have always appreciated how deeply our community cares about our children and their education. I truly believe it is one of our greatest strengths. Now is the time for our district to build on that strength as we move forward.

As superintendent, I will focus on student achievement, finances, and communication. There are questions in these areas that need to be asked. How can we make sure each student achieves to the best of his or her ability? With a volatile economy, how can we continue to deliver an outstanding, cost-effective education for our students? I am fortunate to be able to call on wonderful administrators, teachers, support staff, and community members to help me address these areas. Collectively, we will continue to prioritize doing what is best for our students.

In the area of communications, I plan to provide you with regular updates through 204 E-News. As a way of increasing the transparency of our work, at the end of August we will launch a new online area of our website called BoardDocs. I'll bring you more information on that topic later this summer.

I recognize that we have dealt with some difficult and controversial issues in the past few years. I hope that we, as a community, can come together and move forward. I am counting on your support as we all work on behalf of our most important investment -- our children.

Sincerely,
Kathy Birkett
Superintendent
