I haven't posted on this page in a very long while, but in an attempt to get back to sharing here regularly, I'm starting with a simple note of gratitude:
Being on the school board was never on my bingo card and yet it has, over the past two years, become one of the most meaningful callings of my life. I count it as an absolute joy and honor because of who I get to serve with and the 49,000 students we get to serve on behalf of.
The trustees in this picture personify servant leadership and I really just want to say how proud and grateful I am for their sacrifices. We are seven different individuals who all ran for different reasons, yet we come together every month with a clear, shared purpose: to do what’s best for students and staff in Lamar CISD. The decisions are heavy at times and the responsibility is massive, but our students and staff deserve nothing less than a board who embraces the challenge.
So to my fellow trustees - thank you. Thank you for holding yourselves to the highest standard of transparency, civility, humility, grace, and for doing the right thing even when it’s hard. I am extremely proud to serve alongside you and I am certain the best is yet to come.
