Bert Allen Bronaugh Jr participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 8, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Bert Allen Bronaugh Jr's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Student achievement 2) Student safety |
” |

” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Bert Allen Bronaugh Jr answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | Personally, related to the School Board position, Ralph Pfluger is one of the people that I look up to. He was a long term trustee that put the children first and still does. He made hard decisions that were done for our school children, then stood behind those decisions. I would like to be as strong of a trustee as he was. I also look to up to my Mother, who was a teacher. Her patience and encouragement for all the children that she interacted with will always be a milemark for me.[3] | ” |
| “ | Stand and Deliver'. To me, this movie shows the idea that if we, as the school district, support and bolster our teachers, they will succeed in the goal of educating our future leaders. Our teachers do their job for the students, we need to support them.[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty, integrity and accessibility.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am a long time resident of this area. I have four children that have all attended Hays CISD. I am very active in many aspect of the community, so I am in touch with the needs and desires of the area.[3] | ” |
| “ | To make every decision based on the best thing for the children.[3] | ” |
| “ | I started working for my Grandfather on his cotton farm in south Texas at the age of 8. I started off 'packing cotton trailers' and hand picking the areas that the picker/stripper couldn't get into. My Grandfather and I would also chop cotton (hoe the weeds out of the fields) when necessary. It really gave me good work ethics and an understanding of the importance of every worker.[3] | ” |
| “ | Dirk Pitt, not the movie version but the book version. The reason is that he's just an average person, with some character flaws, but always gets the job done, even though it's sometimes not the expected way.[3] | ” |
| “ | To represent the constituents viewpoints on items related to the education of our districts students[3] | ” |
| “ | I am elected by the voters in District 3, but I am an advocate for all the Hays CISD residents.[3] | ” |
| “ | I will support the District's needs by researching the issues, both at hand and on the horizon, taking input from the community, staying well informed and making decisions based on the facts, keeping the goal of our children's education and safety as a first priority.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am involved with some local organizations, and will do my best to participate in school functions and activities, specifically PTA and parent functions.[3] | ” |
| “ | We need to stay ahead of anyone that would intentionally try to harm our students. We have a wonderful team of Student Resource Officers and a great relationship with our local law enforcement. Between those two, and and administration that knows the importance of safety, I believe we will do our best to stay prepared.[3] | ” |
| “ | Our SHAC, Student Health Advisory Committee, is already addressing that. This is a very pro-active group that has some very sound ideas, and carries these ideas to the Board on a regular basis. I support this group, and look to their knowledge and research in supporting both the mental and physical health of our students.[3] | ” |
