What do you think are the biggest issues Humble ISD is currently facing?
Growth in student enrollment over the next ve to seven years will be a major challenge both in facility construction/renovation and adding quality sta to all areas of [HISD]. Campus safety is our rst priority. The district maintains law enforcement ocers at all high school and middle school campuses. The best in equipment and technology has been provided. We increased starting ocer pay this past fall to remain competitive. Coordi- nation with area rst responders is ongoing.
Student mental health. Parent trust. Teacher attraction and retention. I will advocate to place students rst to overcome the behav- ioral and academic setbacks brought on by the COVID shutdown. Enforce conservative policies to address today’s urban issues to build a culture which re¢ects our values. Fight to fund additional support sta to help teachers exercise their passion to teach, support the current academic calendar, and keep the board out of their classroom.
Humble Independent School District ... is ranked No. 495 of all 1,196 school districts in Texas (based o of combined math and read- ing pro ciency testing data) for the 202122 school year. State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test showed “promising signs of progress in Texas’ eorts to catch students up academically.”
Presently, the biggest issue facing Humble ISD is the experimentation of using com- puters for learning purposes. Increasingly, we are seeing students who are unable to read on grade level and do basic math. Re- turning to a traditional form of education, which worked for our founding fathers, allows students to learn to read, write and do math with success since it will be de- velopmentally appropriate for the students.
