FBISD Can Do Better for Our Kids!
Cheryl's Priorities
- Address diverse learning challenges with urgency so every student flourishes.
- Expand tutoring for struggling students in order to address declining literacy scores.
- Uphold robust Gifted and Talented and Academy programs.
- Insist on curriculum transparency.
- Ensure students have access to meaningful career guidance.
- Invest in and promote workforce training programs with industry-recognized certifications.
- Instill in students an understanding of our Country’s founding, how government works, and civic responsibilities of citizens to strengthen our democracy.
- Equip students with skills in civil discourse, instead of cancelling those with whom they disagree.
- Rebuild public trust in the decision-making process.
- Students’ proximity to their assigned school should remain a top priority.
- Increase stewardship of finances—as families tighten their belts, FBISD must do the same.
- Retain a third-party auditing firm to uncover additional places to save money.
- Prioritize spending to our teachers and their classrooms.
- Bolster school building safety and continue vigilance to ensure students are safe from intruders.
- Empower teachers and administrators to address problematic behaviors that block learning by using the Student Code of Conduct.
- Solicit feedback and begin open dialog to better understand why there was a 20% turnover of teachers this year.
- Work with administrators to reassess the metrics by which they are evaluated.
- As a trustee, I will take the arrows when administrators make necessary, but unpopular, decisions to build more effective learning communities.
