It has been very gratifying to see our students’ academic performance reach the Recognized rating level. The tireless efforts of our district staff, along with the support of both the Board and the community have greatly contributed to these results. Our next stop … Exemplary!
As many of you know, our progress in continuing along this path of ever higher student academic achievement, increased high school completion rates, and preparing our students for the next level of their education, be it college, technical programs or career-readiness, is under serious threat due to revenue shortfalls in our state. Please spend a few minutes on my web site to learn more about what you may do to impact the budget decisions that are being made in Austin regarding public education.
I am seeking re-election to the Board so that I may continue the efforts I began three years ago. I have worked diligently to be a trusted steward of taxpayer resources in order to provide the greatest educational opportunities to our students.
I willingly invest the many hours necessary to prepare for Board and committee business in order to be an effective advocate for you and our children. I will ask the tough questions and cast votes that I feel are in the best interests of our stakeholders even if they may be unpopular in certain quarters. I don’t shirk responsibility in order to achieve popularity. That is what leadership is all about.
I freely give of my time to participate in campus and district activities so that I can see first-hand what is happening in our district. This interaction with students, staff and community members is invaluable to my work on our Board.
I believe my record clearly supports these assertions. If you agree, then I ask for your support and your vote in this election.
Sincerely,
