The mission of Turner Schools is to develop high standards of scholastic attainment, moral excellence, and responsible citizenship within our students. The education of our children is not the exclusive province of
the school but should be a joint effort of the school, home, and community. We believe that education is a longtime investment on the part of the state and local district. We recognize our duty to provide experiences for our children, which lead to emotional, economic, social, and political adjustment in a democratic way of life. Free public education is justifiable, we believe, to the extent that it makes the supporting state a better place in which to live and make a living. We recognize that education is a function of the state and that the Board of Education, as the governing body of Turner School District I-5, shall act as an agency of the state. Therefore, it is understood that state and
national laws and regulations regarding education will take precedence over local regulations. The attainment of these objectives necessitates cooperation with all agencies in community life.
