- In August of 2024 CISD school board has voted and passed a budget over $10million in deficit. This is government not controlling the purse strings in action at the local level. Being good stewards begins with setting real boundaries and acting within the limits of those restraints. It requires no discipline for anyone max out a credit card, and a business can not pay employees with wishful thinking.
- In May of 2024 CISD school board has voted and failed to decide what is appropriate for school libraries. Reverting the decision arbitrarily up to the Librarians not he board.
If we want to keep our community safe, we have to say enough is enough, and set common sense policy. Starting with removing inappropriate books from school libraries. Children need to be cared for, loved, and protected. It is good oversight to create hedges and barriers for children to keep them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually safe.
Parents today have a lot of work, in a climate of influencers and indoctrinations, to protect our children from unwanted worldly influences. - I love Texas curriculum; teaches history for years, but has some shortfalls. Government tends to be a 1 semester course and Civics it not to be found. There no class to prepare a Texan for required civic duties to serve on jury duty, to vote, to file taxes. As well as the foundational importance to volunteer to serve in the community local governance, volunteer EMS or fireman.
We live in a time when the roots of our Constitutional freedoms are being twisted, confused, and misrepresented.
As the 56th Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a constitutional lawyer, clarified that the original intent of the first amendment was to grant every citizen the freedom of religion everywhere, and that the principles of faith to have influence on our public life and world view. I could not agree more.
The Declaration of Independence 7-4-1776.
A person can say anything but we know them by their actions.
Our children need us to foster a learning environment that is challenging and has an actionable path beyond the school walls. Paths leading in fields of innovation in: design, manufacturing, medicine, technology, agriculture, science. And actionable paths including internships in: business, law, finance, etc.
This is the real data that can shift our perception of these incidents.
In the study the most predominant characteristics for those at risk of violent outcomes include: known and observable mental heal issues, negative home life factors, history of disciplinary actions, communicated a threat of violence prior to event. Just tracking students with these few data points could help our administration speak positive light in to these lives and proactively be aware of real children's struggles in life. Only 22% of the schools were doing this.
In this study 66% of schools had some form of school resource officer and 15% schools employed private security guards, who were usually unarmed. (81%)

12% ended by school resource officer
10% ended by student bystander intervention
2% ended by local police already on campus at the time of incident began.
2% ended by weapon malfunction
No attacks were ended by outside law enforcement agencies responding to the scene from off-campus!
how long was the incident?

24% lasted for 1-2 minutes.
15% lasted 2-5 minutes.
15% lasted 5-15 minutes.
What is CISD doing that reflects the data or just our perceptions of fear?
Mask mandates and emergency vaccines are a violation of personal liberty, and multitudes of data is available to confirm the results of using are marginal to ineffective.Standard practices during cold and flu season include: disinfecting public use areas, washing hands regularly, coughing and sneezing into the elbow. etc. are completely acceptable requests and good practice.
