One of my favorite things we do @DBQProject is strengthening partnership with our district leaders. Alignment collaboration *time* = truly equip & empower teachers’ implementation of document-based learning in their classrooms. #NCSS2025 #DoYouDBQ?

TX is now redoing its public school curriculum guided by a guy who says “there is no such thing” as expertise. it's not hard to guess where this is headed.

8 former @katyisd trustees, some who even ran against each other in prior elections, are endorsing incumbents Dawn Champagne and Rebecca Fox for school board. These former trustees understand public education vs pro-voucher PAC influence is on the ballot this election cycle.

Paul Giamatti won a Golden Globe for "The Holdovers" and championed teachers in his acceptance speech: “Teachers are good people. We’ve got to respect them. They do a good thing. It’s a tough job. So this is for teachers.” variety.com/2024/film/awards…

Congratulations @katyisd for protecting Parent's Rights! Great Trustees took a stand against the radical left's agenda. School staff must inform parents if a student claims to be transgender, non-binary, or change their name. Also, staff is only allowed to use pronouns that are parent approved and teachers have a choice to use student's preferred pronoun. 🇺🇲🦅 #parentsrights #Texas

I loved my 10 years in KatyISD, but new directions like this will continue to result in educators of both high-quality character and instructionally-sound caliber leaving for other opportunities. You’re making it harder for good teachers to do what they love, @katyisd Board.

Elections matter.
In a 4-3 vote the Katy ISD will now require teachers to notify parents if their student comes out as transgender or asks to use different pronouns. Trustee Morgan Calhoun said previous board ‘did nothing’ for years “So, now it’s our turn.” click2houston.com/news/local…
