The Stronger Together campaign will focus on these issues:
- Adequate School Funding: Dan Gosa fully supports Superintendent's Tate's decision to spend more than the state allocation and avoid severe cuts that will harm a generation of young people. I will also work with state legislators to increase state funding and equalize Supplemental State Aid so Davenport students are not worth less.
- Increase Student Success and Graduation Rates: Dan Gosa believes the District has made impressive improvements in raising the graduation rate, but believes more work needs to be done to give all Davenport students the opportunity to succeed.
- Strengthen Athletic Program: Dan Gosa believes that having a strong athletic program not only teaches teamwork and pride, but that exercise and athletics also improve students' academic results. Therefore, he will be a strong advocate for Davenport's athletic programs.
Event begins at 5PM with remarks to be given at 6PM. To learn more about the Stronger Together Campaign, please visit the Facebook page:
