We all expect our school district to provide a quality education for our children, to be financially responsible with our tax dollars, and to support students, parents, & teachers.  These common sense ideas are the foundation for a unified community and serve as an example for our children.

Carroll ISD has an amazing School Board that has shown strength by making tough decisions in a challenging environment.  Recent improvements in education policies and standards, the focus on finances, and the leadership role that CISD has embraced throughout Texas all point to a strong Board that is clearly embracing opportunities to drive our children toward excellence.

A core part of my professional life as a healthcare Chief Operating Officer is my responsibility for care, compliance, and budgets.  Like our schools, medical businesses must balance their mission to provide care with the need for sustainable financial performance and the need to comply with legal requirements.  I’ve proven my ability to create optimal solutions in areas very similar to what CISD faces today.  An increased focus on these areas will help the CISD Board improve compliance with governing requirements, better communicate with parents and teachers, and instill the highest standards of transparency in government.  

Due to Carroll ISD’s success, we have the responsibility to be the example for every School Board in Texas and now is our chance to raise our standards even further.  By combining our high expectations, strong community involvement, and now an unsurpassed ability to cleanly execute in a complex administrative environment, we will continue to Protect the Tradition of excellence in CISD for future generations.
