Four Wylie ISD trustee seats on Nov. 3 ballot

Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.

Neutral

For the sake of history, one must learn where we have been to contribute thoughtfully to the future. We must acknowledge the history as it was, not for what we wish it to have been. It is then up to the individual to determine how they feel about that past. Their motivations to who they become as adults starts with an honest reality.

School Curriculum

EDUCATION

Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Strongly Agree

I believe we should lean on organizations that have built a structure to safely care for the communities they serve to be accessible to their communities. School district staff have responsibilities that may not fully align with healthcare needs and opportunities as broadly as a provider like Planned Parenthood, for example.

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Disagree

The resources and funding lost with a blanket statement about eliminating the DoE is horrific. Guidance benefits a variety of school systems to help align our society toward a general goal. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but at least we are headed in a more unified direction with support together to also meet our partners internationally on a similar level.

Supports abortion and gender-affirming health providers, including Planned Parenthood, as school resources for instruction or services.

Opposes eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, citing its resources, funding, and guidance for school systems.

School Facilities & Resources

What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Emotional support through counseling system, connect students to medical care as needed, protect educational access for the student.

Consequences for bad behavior create a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Agree

Consequences have a broad range of impact, and understanding cause and effect for all levels of development can support the individual's opportunities for success in the future. There is also a limit to what consequences can look like in a number of situations.

Supports counseling, connections to medical care, and continued educational access for students experiencing unwanted or crisis pregnancies.

Supports consequences for student behavior while emphasizing their developmental effects and limits in some situations.

Teachers

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

Public education at all ages is a public service resulting in public good. An educated and informed public is a community that better serves one another and that domino effect reaches all levels of society.

It is discriminatory for a school district to cause academically eligible students to forfeit participation in U.I.L. competition when the student opts for instruction outside of the public school system.
Neutral

I think it is a reasonable boundary that participation is tied to the shared obligations of enrollment. Grades tracked by the school, discipline policies, daily attendance, coaching relationships built over a season all relate to the student's relation to the program. Non-enrolled students opting in only for the extracurriculars can also crowd roster spots or create accountability gaps. In the professional world, if you opt out of a career role you don't get to still opt in to their benefits.

Said public education at all ages is a public service that produces public benefits.

Supports tying University Interscholastic League extracurricular eligibility to public-school enrollment.

- 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.
