About. Hi! I cant wait to get to know you better and for you to get to know me!

A little About meI love our community and we have a great one! I served on the board before as Secretary and Vice President. In some ways I feel more qualified now as a board member than before when I served, for the reason that I was an insider as opposed to now being somewhat of an outsider. As an outsider, I am seeing the district with a different perspective, and that is one of just a citizen who sees great growth and a beacon.
As Vice President. I was able to help pass the bond to build our new elementary schools and admin building We were able to refurbish the stadium with budget monies. We remodeled the middle school auditorium, made changes at Joy James. I was able to help begin the conversation to have a soccer team and hired Dr. Ramos as Superintendent. Our teacher retention remained high and our teacher salaries competitive. I am a proven leader with the schools interest in mind, and not that of my own. |
My Goalhttps://ueatexas.com/turnover/
I’m not afraid of tough conversation and we need to talk about the high turnover of principals at the high school and the teacher turnover rate. According to UEA, we have the fourth highest teacher turnover rate in the area. Conversations are tools to correct challenges. We are either hiring the wrong people, we have a morale problem, or something entirely different. Nonetheless, together we can make it better! Other challenges I feel I will have as a new board member is to Help make sure our school remains a school that provides a curriculum, and extra-curricula, that is bigger than ourselves. To be a district that doesn’t pigeon hole students because of demographics or financial status. A district that imparts knowledge, not doctrine. A school concerned about the safety of our students and staff. A district that continues to understand all students should be college ready, but that not all are necessarily college bound. https://ueatexas.com/turnover/ |
