I was fortunate to spend 15 years in the classroom teaching the D.A.R.E and G.R.E.A.T programs to our elementary and middle school students. It was there that I would see many of our teacher’s passion to educate students. It is my goal to bring that type of passion to the school board. If elected, I would work with the other trustees to get our students out of the bottom 12 percent in Texas with STAAR testing. I would also look for other ways to get our teachers out of the bot- tom 27 percent pay-wise in Texas. I am against the bond that is on the ballot on May 1, 2021.
