Recently, the bond failed yet the district is projected to grow exponentially over the next decade. What would you do to support the growth that's coming?

Growth is inevitable and we need to prepare for this growth.  We cannot build beyond our budget and money can’t be spent until we have the tax bases to support it.  In the near future we will have to address the growth and form a community advisory committee to access our needs and develop a plan.

Give any information you feel is important to relay to voters.

I’m proud of the growth and successes that have been accomplished while I have served on the Huffman ISD School Board.  I have fought for raises for teachers and employees.  I have been a part of ensuring our students are safe.  I want the opportunity to continue to do so.

- 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.
