Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?

I believe the school board should take a harder look at the current curriculum to determine if it is appropriate, understandable, and will teach the values of our culture as Americans.

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?

I believe this limits our ability to educate our children properly. Funding should be given at the local level where we have more control over the content of our curriculum.

- 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.
