I’m eager to begin work with our school board to build upon the success of our district. We will pursue excellence in all areas and provide the best educationa­l experience for PSPCSID students,” said Copley.

We have lost a few students. As of late, I want to draw those students back. So we are looking at putting things into place to draw students back.” According to Copley district enrollment is currently around 550 to 560. “It would be nice to get enrollment back to close to 600,” stated Copley.

She also plans to market the school district by telling about the good things the district is doing and work closely with the school board to continue to get the school district in good financial shape.
