EXPERIENCE: The only FBISD Board Member with a proven track record as the first FBISD female Board Member selected for the state-level TX Assoc. of School Board Leadership team in one year, Working tirelessly to embed a community liaison for our Title I campuses to get community input. An experienced Board member versed in Budget, Policy, GT selection, Fine Arts, CTE, Athletics and what's truly important; the students.
PLANNING: I will continue to work with students/educators to understand their needs and challenges in the classroom. As we move forward, emphasis should be placed on retaining staff, mitigating change, and increasing outcomes, while focusing on community and staff input, fostering transparency, and making a collective effort to move our students toward optimal growth. We must increase efforts to reduce inequities in order to stabilize rebalancing/rezoning efforts while maintaining fiscal responsibility through long-range utilization planning.
WHOLE STUDENT: As a Psych Nurse, I advocate for growth and support of the whole student. It is important not to diminish our Athletic, CTE, and Fine Arts programs in the process. Our students and teachers have a tough road ahead and require a Trustee that will be an inclusive voice to express the vision and ideas of our students, community, and staff. Our efforts should be focused on promoting programs such as Guiding Promising Students Mentoring where the community, businesses, and local organizations volunteer to be a part of developing the academic and social-emotional needs of students.
QUALITY EDUCATION: As a former member on the Teacher of the Year Committee, I support teachers by recognizing their achievements and advocating for their input at the District level while providing opportunities for professional growth. While on the Board, I was instrumental in approving funds to promote the quality of our facilities. We must continue to provide quality education in all areas of the District including innovative courses, social-emotional supports, and exemplary programs. We need to find creative ways to recapture students that attend private and charter schools while advocating for more equitable and adequate school funding at the State level.
INNOVATIVE EDUCATION: Our efforts should be focused on maximizing innovative programs and partnering with local industries and other companies such as local plumbers, painters, Microsoft, and Steinway to reinvest in our students' futures. I have been a proponent of new programs of choice including the recently opened CTE Center, P-TECH and Early College High School programs, Early Literacy Centers, Full Day Pre-K, Piano Technician Program, and many more.
BALANCED INNOVATION: I advocate using innovation and prior developed asynchronous curriculum, CTE and college partners to remove barriers to higher-level courses. I will work for equal access to all programs and courses at every FBISD campus. I will work to ensure all schools are staffed and equipped to keep our children safe and secure.
RE-CAPTURE: Recapture students in order to supplement budget.
RETENTION: Retain staff in order to maximize talent and revitalize the District
RE-EDUCATION: Identify ways to close gaps at all ages and levels.
RE-PLAN: Re-discover funding, re-visit missed opportunities for educating our students, re-analyze the current FBISD in order to re-plan the future of Fort Bend ISD.
RE-ALIGN: Reinvigorate and realign the Board. Re-instill trust and respectful conversation. Remodel the vision for our students, staff, parents and community.
RE- LOBBY: Now is our time to re-pair the funding formula to include an option that provides re-investment in Fort Bend ISD.
