Election

Alvin ISD board of trustees, Position 2

Would you support the district going out for a bond within the next year?

What are your priorities, if elected?

Over the past three years on the board, our district priorities have been aligned to the academic needs of our students. We need to continue to focus on the academic success we are achieving since the pandemic and the extracurricular opportunities we offer each student across the district.

I would have to wait to see if our CAC recommends one to the board after reviewing all of the data. Our district has done a great job managing the rising costs of construction with previous bond dollars, without raising our tax rate and actually reducing it.

My priorities include focusing on teacher retention, mental health support and producing career-ready graduates. Additionally, heavy-handed tactics from Austin are trying to force the Culture Wars into our classrooms. We need leaders willing to stand up to these bullies and provide inclusive support for all students and teachers.

Overcrowding is already a serious concern on our campuses. A bond is necessary to fund additional infrastructure, including a fifth high school, as well as maintain existing schools. We need a plan that keeps us competitive with neighboring districts and leverages our growth to minimize the impact on taxpayers.
