for the Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees, Position 4
Honest budgets. Open decisions. A parent in our schools right now.
I have a child in first grade and another starting kindergarten next year, so I am not watching these decisions from a distance. I am raising my kids inside the results.
I have spent my career helping organizations turn scattered numbers into clear decisions. When I look at how our district is being run, I see short-term fixes covering long-term problems. Our children will grow up in the district these choices build, and I want a board thinking about the next twelve years, not just the next budget cycle.
Plan for the challenges we can already see coming, instead of patching recurring gaps with one-time money. Families should be able to trust that their schools are on stable ground, not bracing for the next surprise.
Every family that leaves makes the next year harder for the ones who stay. We keep families here by being a district they choose, not one they leave. That means schools worth choosing in every neighborhood, not just some.
Families should see a decision coming and have a real voice before the vote, not read about it after. Too often the people most affected are the last to know. I want to change that.
I will not pretend to have a ready answer for every issue in a district this size. What I can promise is how I will work. I will put the real numbers and real options in front of families early, listen before decisions instead of explaining after them, and then make the call and own it.
No one has every answer for a district this size. My job is to ask the right questions, bring the people closest to each problem to the table, and do the work to find the answers together.
This campaign runs on what families tell me.
I want to hear from you any time, about anything happening in our schools. And I want to keep you in the loop, so that when a real decision is coming, you know early and I can ask what you think while your voice can still change the outcome. That is the whole idea. A conversation that goes both ways, not a speech once every campaign season.
Leave your thoughts below and choose to stay updated. And if this is the kind of board you want too, share it with another Fort Bend family. A share costs nothing and helps just as much.
