Letter From HUFSD Superintendent Jim Polansky

Dear Huntington School District Residents:

On behalf of the Board of Education and administration, please accept my sincerest gratitude for supporting the Huntington School District’s 2014-2015 budget. During a time that has come to be defined by change and fiscal challenge, your support will allow us to address the educational needs of our students as well as the concerns of our taxpayers. In addition, your support for the capital proposition will permit us to make the needed upgrades and improvements to district’s technological infrastructure and to the parking lot at Huntington High School with no impact on the tax levy or rate. Also as a result of your support, we are proud to announce the restoration of fullday kindergarten beginning in 2014-2015.

My appreciation extends to each of you who assumed an active role, asked questions or provided input during the budget development process. We will maintain our efforts toward achieving cost savings and efficiencies, while preserving the goal of providing students in grades K-12 with a high quality education that promotes a love for learning, as well as college and career readiness in an increasingly global and technologically driven society.

As always, I strongly encourage district residents to contact us at any time during the year with questions or concerns, or simply to recognize a student or staff member accomplishment. I firmly believe that together, we can build upon a strong educational foundation and continue to foster a climate that promotes student growth and achievement, parental involvement and collaboration among all members of the school district community.

Thank you for your confidence in the Huntington School District and for supporting our children and their futures.

Sincerely,

James W. Polansky
Superintendent of Schools
