HAVING ESA'S WILL CREATE A DUAL SYSTEM OF EDUCATION AND ONE OF INEQUALITY. THIS WILL BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON TO NOT PASS THIS BILL. I WILL ALSO ADD
THAT IT IS GOVERNMENT OVER REACH. MAKE THE SYSTEM BETTER FOR ALL STUDENTS. IMPLEMENT
THINGS IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT WILL HELP US AS A SOCIETY AND STOP LETTING "THE FEW" CHANGE
THE SYSTEM. ESA'S ARE AN EASY OUT AND THE FIX IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. I WILL ADD THAT I HAVE A
GRANDSON IN PRIVATE SCHOOL. I AM NOT AGAINST PRIVATE SCHOOLS. I WANT THEM TO STAY PRIVATE.

What will you do to represent all students in the district?

Would you be in favor of the school marshal program provided training and the proper vetting process is done? Please explain why or why not.

I would absolutely be in favor of the school marshal program.  The program would add a strong level of safety to our schools.  School violence is a reoccurring tragedy.  We would be far less vulnerable with school marshals.

- A trustee is an elected member of a local school board who helps govern a public school district.

- Trustees represent community interests and are responsible for setting policies that guide how the school district operates.

- The board of trustees hires and evaluates the superintendent, who manages the day-to-day operations of the district.

- Trustees approve the district’s budget, monitor spending, and may set the local tax rate or call for bond elections to fund schools.

- The board also oversees educational programs, district goals, and overall performance.

- In Texas, trustees are elected to four-year terms, often on a rotating basis, so not all seats are elected at the same time.

- Trustees serve without financial compensation.
