Chris Small is the Superintendent of the Grain Vally School District.
- What makes the Grain Valley School District stand apart from other school districts? We have a small school atmosphere and a small community feel, but also some opportunities of a suburban school district. I believe our students have the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds.
- What are the district’s goals for the 2008-09 school year? We want to continue to improve in regards to student achievement.
- What is the greatest challenge facing the school district? Staying ahead of the growth. Everything is tied to the growth including the programs and services that we offer.
- How can parents be active in their child’s education? If they develop a habit of involvement, then they are more likely to stay active as their child grows through middle and high school.
- Why do you feel the Grain Valley School District is beneficial for students? We have a small school environment with opportunities of a suburban district, which creates a great environment for our kids.
