Tomball ISD Celebrates School Board Recognition Month

"I’m running because, frankly, families are being squeezed. In so many conversations with my neighbors and those that I come across, inflation has been crushing their personal budgets, taxes, health care costs are just too high," Pratt said. "I’m on the record as a publicly elected official, been voted in four times. And so, my goal ... is to take those conservative results and represent our community in Washington, D.C., where, frankly, we continue to spend money that we just don’t have."...

School Curriculum

Said the school board lowered taxes while “maintaining excellence.”

I am the most qualified to serve as U.S. Congressman for Texas Congressional District 38 because I’ve led, managed, and served—not just talked. I spent seven years on active duty as an Officer in the U. S. Marine Corps, learning discipline, accountability, and peace through strength. In the private sector, I have managed a multi-billion-dollar global business for a Fortune 80 technology company, balancing real budgets and delivering results.
I am the only candidate who has been publicly elected! I serve on the Tomball Independent School District Board of Trustees and have been President (3x), lowering taxes while maintaining excellence. I’ve delivered conservative results in the USMC uniform, in business, and here in TX-38—results matter!

Access to Education

- 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.
