How do you think the district should plan on managing growth?
LCISD is expected to add over 30,000 students in the next 10 years. This growth requires long-term planning, which has been the district’s focus this year. In the four years before I joined the board, six new schools opened. In the next four years, we are on track for 17 new schools, most of which will relieve Purple Track campuses. I will continue to be a good financial steward and will continue to encourage transparency.

How do you think the district should plan on managing growth?
Our district needs to focus on better long-term planning. I would like to see LCISD begin purchasing smaller tracts of land where we can build individual campuses in various locations as opposed to waiting for larger tracts where multiple campuses are built. Seeking out smaller, more available tracts of land could eliminate the legal battles and wait time associated with eminent domain and significantly shorten the time spent on the school building process.
