Updated Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. Don Davis and Jana Gonzales have secured victories in their races for the Spring ISD board of trustees for positions 6 and 7, respectively. Gonzales garnered 4,471 votes, or 63 percent of the vote, to earn a fourth term on the board. She defeated her Position 7 opponent L.V. Dever, who received 2,646 votes, or 37 percent. Gonzales said she will focus on improving student literacy and making sure the district hires and retains quality teachers. "I’m excited that the community is ready for me to serve another term," she said. "I'm also excited to move forward with Superintendent [Rodney] Watson’s goals, which include [the districtwide five-year improvement plan] Every Child 2020." Gonzales, the incumbent, serves as vice president of business and community development at Investex Credit Union. Gonzales has served three terms on the board of trustees. She prioritized improving literacy rates and reaching the needs of all students throughout her campaign. Dever, the challenger, owns Devco Insurance and lives within the district. As part of his platform, Dever said he would ensure fiscal responsibility and focus on securing safety within the district. Davis garnered a victory after earning 3,980 votes, or 56 percent of the vote. His Position 6 opponent, incumbent Ron Crier, received 3,155 votes, or 44 percent of the vote. "Coming from [the] classroom, I know both sides of the story in dealing with parents and students," Davis said. "Our kids are not reading up to standard, and I pushed that issue." Davis is a retired SISD teacher and former military member. His platform focused on closing the achievement gap, promoting safety and engaging community support for the district. Crier was first elected to the SISD board of trustees in 2003, and he served four terms. Crier also serves as on the statewide Texas Association of School Boards as board director of Region 4A.    "I want to make sure we have an all year-round reading program," Davis said. "I also want to give special attention to children with special needs. As a public school district we need to make sure every student is successful whether they're going to college or the military or the workforce. And most importantly, we need to make sure our students and educators are safe every day." All results are unofficial until canvassed.
