 The quality of a school district can be measured in many ways – by an experienced teaching staff, modern facilities, or the amount of per-pupil spending. But none of these factors really matters unless students achieve. When parents send their children to school, they have the right to expect that learning will take place. We understand this expectation. It is the basis of our vision and the foundation for our work. The Osceola County School District focuses on improving instruction and enhancing the day-to-day interaction between teachers and students in order to raise student outcomes.
By analyzing performance data, as well as our instructional strategies, we have begun work to eliminate achievement gaps among groups of students. We are committed to allocating funds as necessary to support student performance. We hold high expectations for all students, academically and behaviorally. Although our emphases are on classroom instruction and student results, we also insist that schools promote a climate of respect for all, just as we help our students and staff develop an appreciation of diversity. We believe that all students can, must and will learn at high levels. Likewise, we expect all teachers to teach at high levels, all administrators to lead at high levels, and all support staff to facilitate the operation of the school district at the very highest level. Indeed, it is because our students deserve the best that we must and we will succeed. “Continuous Improvement” is the rallying cry for the Osceola School District. We’ve made great progress as their annual report will show. However, if we are to sustain these gain and make further progress, we must continue to evaluate and revise our programs and make the best decisions in the interests of each and every child. On behalf of our students, we accept this challenge. Blaine A. Muse

Financing Your Home >When Interest Rates Rise
Many people fall out of the home buying market when interest rates start to go up. This is often a mistake. Many of the best mortgages deals become available when lenders are competing for new business and sellers are competing within a smaller buyer pool. You just have to know how to keep the costs down in order to counter the higher interest rates.
One of the best tricks is the buy-down. In a buy-down, a fee is paid at the closing to get a lower interest rate. In a soft market, an anxious seller may be lured into to paying all or part of the buy-down. Another approach is to get the seller to pay some of closing costs, thus lowering the amount of cash a buyer needs to close. Frequently the seller's costs can be used as a write-off by the buyer. Always consult with your tax advisor if you are considering such an arrangement.
If the market is softening due to rising or higher rates, the price itself becomes an area where a buyer may be able to save a lot of money on a house through skillful negotiating. Lower prices mean lower loan amounts, so don't be discouraged by higher rates--use them to your advantage.
