2014

George's campaign website listed the following themes for 2014:

“	Teacher Morale: Recent discussions with a variety of teachers show that although it is better than it was years ago, teacher morale not where it needs to be. Studies also show that there is a correlation between high teacher morale and student achievement. I intend to make teacher morale a priority because I have seen high teacher morale and how it positively impacts student achievement. I have every intention to work with teachers and listen to their needs in order to accomplish a workplace where they are fully supported to do what they were hired to do: Teach. Taxes: Being a Board Certified Financial Planner and money manager I understand money and I intend on ensuring responsible and completely transparent spending of your tax dollars. Excellence in Education: I believe that every student that attends our school system should be given the appropriate tools they need to succeed in whichever path they choose to take. Our children are our future. Vocational (Trade) School Learning Programs: I support and would like to promote more vocational or trade school curriculum within Fort Bend ISD school system with the help of business community in Houston Metro area. ​ Promote Healthy Lifestyle in Schools: Approximately 17% of children and teens in the United States are obese or overweight, compared to 5 to 6.5% in the 1980s. With the help of our local healthcare professionals, I would like to promote and teach our children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. ​ Accomplish the True Purpose of Education: From discussions with recent high school graduates, I have heard that their main concern is that high school doesn’t prepare them for the real world. The purpose of school is to prepare our future generation to be productive citizens of our society. Teaching our kids the basics of life and how to apply that into their daily lives is the primary purpose of education, and I wholeheartedly believe in this purpose.	”
