What I will bring to the State Board of Education

The duties of the State Board of Education SBOE are to oversee the public
education system of Texas in accordance with the Texas Education Code.

I will bring a sound, common sense approach that is based on experience.
This approach allows me to view policy from a different perspective and work
effectively with my colleagues. Having served on dozens of national, state and
local educational boards /committees and as a former school board Trustee,
I have the experience and resolve to challenge the status quo. As a parent of
school aged children, I simply want what you want, the best for all our children.
