2010
Covey described his reasons for running on the district's website in 2010:[1]
| “ |
In your opinion, what critical challenges face the district, and what are possible solutions to address those issues? Nonequitable funding, unfunded and underfunded mandates from the State/Federal Government, addressing the continuing growth and change in demographics for our district, while maintaining our standard of excellence in education. Solutions include being as visible and vocal to our State and Federal Legislators, not only as a Board but our community members. I recently had the opportunity to TESTIFY for CFISD in front of the SELECT COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION FINANCE at the Capitol, to present our dilemma to lawmakers, businesses people and educators. I am hopeful that they will be able to find a solution to this state-wide problem. Offering continuous support to our teachers, administrators and staff, recruiting the best teachers possible, as they educate our students. [5] |
