What are the biggest challenges the district faces in the next one to two years, and how will you address them?
MB: [Willis ISD's] biggest issue is preparing for the incredible amount of growth coming our way. We have over 10,000 homes projected to be built in Willis ISD over the next 5-10 years and that requires planning. We have to be prepared to educate a lot more students in the near future including buildings and staff.
MB:It really boils down to passion. Yes I do have 10 years as an educator and 4 years experience on the WISD board of [trustees], but most importantly I have a passion to do what is best for Willis students, teachers, and parents. I have learned so much about being a board member over the last 4 years and that has helped me understand the way public education and specifically WISD works.
