Nothing will take precedence over the K-8 instructional program.    We will never compromise the dignity or honor of any person.    We will maintain a positive fund balance.    We will not tolerate ineffective employees / staff.    No program or services will be accepted unless it is consistent with the Strategic Plan, benefits clearly exceed costs, and provisions are made for staff development and program evaluation.    There will be an annual reflective review and analysis of the Strategic Plan and, if necessary, revisions will be made to ensure that Manzanita Elementary remains a dynamic organization.
