Proud Keller ISD Parent

My husband and I chose Keller ISD when we moved to Texas in 2017 because of its strong reputation and commitment to students. Today, we are proud parents of two KISD students in fourth and seventh grade. Like every parent, I want our children to learn in excellent schools, be supported by outstanding teachers, and have every opportunity to succeed.

Rachel Weatherington moved to Texas with her husband in 2017. They have two children who attend Keller Independent School District. Rachel serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in foster care and works with the Tourette Association of America–Texas Chapter.

Over the course of my career I have taught students of all backgrounds and abilities in elementary, middle, intermediate, and high schools in three school districts. I spent 12 years as a classroom teacher honing my skills and understanding of the unique challenges and triumphs of fostering student growth, adapting to diverse learning needs, and cultivating a supportive classroom environment. In Keller ISD, I brought those skills to my position as an English as a Second Language (ESL) Specialist and Reading/Math Interventionist across four campuses. I was privileged to work with students and staff at Eagle Ridge Elementary, Park Glen Elementary, Indian Springs Middle School, and Florence Elementary School.

How do you plan to address these issues?
It's been almost seven years since the last bond was approved and the proposed bond will fix our schools' failing HVAC systems, plumbing issues and crumbling buildings. This will allow us to free up funds to compensate staff without raising tax rates.

- 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.
