State funding for Texas public schools hasn’t seen a meaningful increase since 2019. Districts receive just over $6,000 per student based on attendance, while the voucher program awards families $10,000 per student in public funds regardless of attendance. The math simply isn’t working, and our students deserve better.
Despite this imbalance, our district must remain focused on long-term financial stability. That means prioritizing the programs, systems, and resources that most directly impact student achievement and instructional quality, because every decision should start with what is best for students. As a trustee, I would ask thoughtful questions, carefully weigh trade-offs, listen to educators, ensure transparency throughout the process, and most importantly - advocate for our district. I’m ready to step into this role and ready to speak up for our students.
