A Note to Teachers
A recent question on the Family Feud game show was: Name a job that is found in every school? Yes of course, “teacher” was the number one answer. Among the random 100 people surveyed for that question, an over whelming majority understands that school districts like Beaumont ISD and other educational institutions would not exist without you.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that a great teacher can change a student’s life. From the meetings held with almost 200 BISD educators, I’m humbled and honored to represent the teachers in this great district. Teachers are in direct contact daily with BISD’s almost 20,000 students. As I listened to your passion about making sure students achieve, there’s no doubt many young lives are impacted by what you do in and outside of the classrooms.
What children are experiencing at school accounts for much of their time outside of the home. This is why I wanted to connect with you so you can speak freely about BISD. Our conversations will not only help build relationships but also give me a good idea about the state of the district. I’m glad to know there’s a lot of excitement about the new facilities and the latest technology inside the classroom. Your concerns as well as your desires to have ipads, lady bugs phones, and more technology at your finger tips have been noted.
Even with less money and more mandates from the state, BISD has always found ways to enhance the education of our educators and supply you with the tools needed for them to be most effective. However, I was pleased to learn that until we can honor some of the wish list, I work with a group that is committed to doing everything to make sure students get the best education possible! Thank you for focusing on students!.
Focused on every child every day
