Campaign themes

Fraser stated the following about his campaign in a Q&A with Vote 411:

“

Why are you running for the school board? I decided to run for Seat #6 to ensure that our district and its students can be productive and meaningful citizens in the ever-changing workplace. We need self accountability for parents and students. My NISD board will promote this state of mind. How does your background prepare you for this office? I have taught in the elementary and corporate classrooms. Knowing what is necessary inside and outside the public schools, I will be able to make educated decisions for the welfare and well being of NISD students. How will you balance school district revenue with educational needs? Properly using funds is necessary for any organization. I am an advocate for effective use of technology during instructional times as well as properly funding training for our teachers. Of course, funding is the critical issue for any district. Working with Austin to properly fund education has been and will always be one of the most important duties for the board. Explain how you will use your position to improve the quality of education. Working with the superintendent, staff, PTA, and parents must be done. Listening to the concerns and fighting for what is needed is key. With 2 young children, I have a vested interest to make sound decisions to prepare them for high school, college, and beyond. I will work tirelessly to promote the attraction of quality teachers and training for all teachers for NISD. What are the most important issues facing your school district, and how would you address them? Growth is going to be an issue for NWISD. We are trending to be ten times the size in the next 25 to 30 years. Facilities as well as diversity will be an issue. I will work with the current administration to find the suitable locations as well as finding the funding. Working with our community leaders as well as our legislators will be the only way to ensure the sustainability of this growth. Growth will foster diversity. I worked with low income and minority kids. I know the challenges.
