We are making positive changes in the school system, which means we are making positive changes in the lives of our students.- Chad Moe
As a Rockford native, I have seen first-hand the negative perception of education in my city. I am a graduate of Rockford East High School, a product of the public school district. It is up to me (and everyone else in the community) to support positive changes of Rockford Public Schools District #205. - Jessica Koltz
If we want to affect real change and improvement in RPS205 and the overall Rockford Community, then we all need to step up and participate at any and all levels that we are able. This is not an overnight fix or change, this is really affecting generational change which takes time and long term commitment. - Stephen Nelson
