Fernando Hinojosa, Alvin ISD Trustee Position 6

09/09/2026

Being a good steward of our community's resources is one of the responsibilities I take most seriously as your Alvin ISD Trustee.

At our September 8 board meeting, we adopted the 2026-27 tax rate at $1.1249 per $100 of valuation. That is a reduction of $0.0251 from last year. It reflects who we want to be as a district: responsible with your dollars while never losing sight of our students.

What makes me proud is that fiscal discipline and investing in our kids are not in conflict. In the same meeting, we approved a teacher residency partnership with the University of Houston-Clear Lake to strengthen our pipeline of great teachers, and we took the next step toward opening Emmitt Miller Elementary in 2027 to keep pace with our growth.

Lowering the tax rate while continuing to invest in classrooms and plan responsibly for the future is exactly the balance our families deserve.

I also want to congratulate Dr. Rhonda Mason - Alvin ISD Superintendent on her first 100 days leading Alvin ISD. She stepped in and chose to listen first, holding 119 documented conversations with families, staff, and community partners before setting priorities. That kind of leadership sets the right tone, and the work she has already put in shows a real commitment to our students and our community. I am excited to see where she takes us.

Thank you for trusting me to represent you. I am proud of the work this board is doing, and we are just getting started.

Who’s ready for the long weekend?!? 🙋🏽‍♂️

It was another busy week across Alvin Independent School District and the team of 8 showed up! I was able to catch the historic matchup last night between our Mavericks and Pioneers and then did a quick turnaround to walk the beneezy 5k with the Alvin Volunteer Fire Department.

I sincerely wish every single one of you a restful weekend and we look forward to seeing you back on Tuesday for a short work week!!

Friday night lights are back in Alvin ISD!

What a way to cap off week 1 of the football season with a strong win for our Shadow Creek Sharks against Summer Creek!

I am looking forward to the rest of the fall season as I make my way around the district to see our students, teachers, coaches, staff doing what they do best and remind them that !!

I’m so incredibly proud to be serving our Alvin ISD community and for the momentum we keep building week in and week out!

We see and thank our Board of Trustees for their vision, leadership, and continued commitment to creating opportunities for every student to succeed.

We see our students working hard and achieving at high levels. We see our teachers and staff showing up every day with dedication and purpose. We see our families and community supporting our schools and helping our students succeed.

Happy first day of school, Alvin ISD! 📚🍎

I spent part of the morning helping with drop off at Bel Nafegar Sanchez Elementary AISD, working the lines and welcoming students as they arrived. I was hot and sweaty by the end of it, but it was a good reminder that our teachers and staff do this kind of work every single day, showing up for our kids in ways that often go unseen.

I’m thankful for every teacher and staff member who helped make the first day a great one. Wishing our students, families, and educators an amazing school year ahead!
