What do you think is the most pressing issue for Fort Bend ISD, and what will you do to address it? The biggest issue is managing tight funds while keeping community trust. To address this, I will: conduct rigorous audits to eliminate waste and redirect dollars into classrooms. Partner openly with families to guide facility decisions collaboratively. Safeguard funding for targeted academic interventions to ensure student success.

How should the district prepare to address the stagnating student population? To address stagnating enrollment, the district should: Program quality & retention: Elevate academic rigor, advanced coursework and CTE pathways.

- 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.

An official who sets policy for a local school district.
