Campaign themes

Kyer answered the following about her campaign in a Q&A with The Cross Timbers Gazette:

“

Why should you be re-elected? For LISD to continue to be a light house school district we need to have experienced school board members that continue to fight for and support our students. I have 15 years of School Board experience and over 420 hours of certified school board training hours that will aid in the guidance of LISD. My knowledge and contacts will help our school district continue to achieve the highest levels in public education. I have been honored to serve as a school board member for LISD and wish to continue this wonderful journey. What are the main challenges facing your town/district, and how would you resolve them? Finances have been and will continue to be the number one challenge for all school districts. We want to provide the best for our students to be able to succeed and compete on the global arena. This requires cutting edge technology, teachers who feel validated, outstanding training for all our employees, supplies that help our students learn, facilities that are safe, excellent communications with parents, and students that are not hungry. Changes in the demographics provide challenges with LISD, too. LISD is bisected by Highway 35E and located close to DFW Airport; this means that our demographics will always be changing. We need to improve communications with our non-speaking households. Providing information to these parents in their native language will make their students successful because the parents will know what resources are available for their children. Whether a student lives in a gated community or doesn’t know where they are sleeping tonight, it is important that we make every resource we have available to every student in order to make them successful.
