Platform & Future Priorities
Rigorous Academic Achievement and Extracurricular Programs
The core responsibility of all school districts in the State of Texas is teaching the objectives of state curriculum and ensuring that All students master these objectives. While student mastery improvements have been seen post-Covid, much more improvement needs to be made.
Increased Staff Compensation and Improved Staff Retention in 2023-24
In order to build strong academic and extracurricular programs, stability of the school staffs is imperative. In the past two years a 3% compensation package has been approved. We must continue to improve compensation in GISD.
Career/Technology Education Programs and Community Partnerships
2024 marks an exciting time in GISD Career/Technology Programs with the opening of the Future Ready Center which will house advanced career and technology programs for all GISD high school students. Along with the Future Ready Center, we need to leverage our manufacturing and community partnerships for student internships.
Proactive Student Population Growth Planning
GISD is anticipated to grow by 6,000 students in the next decade AND it takes 3 years to build a new school. Proactive student population growth planning must occur.
Continued Success in Financial Oversight
The Texas Legislature has done little to improve school funding since 2019 and inflation and the cost of living have soared in this time. We must carefully scrutinize every expenditure in the district and successfully advocate for more state funding for all public schools.
