Campaign themes

Hassett answered the following about her campaign in a Q&A with The Cross Timbers Gazette:[1]

“

Why should you be elected?
After earning an education degree, I became a classroom teacher before transitioning into another public service industry - healthcare. During my 25+ years experience, I have worked for several major healthcare systems in various capacities. I currently co-own a healthcare business where I serve as Chief Operating Officer. My expertise and knowledge can easily be applied to different industries and include strategic planning, business and service development, start-ups, partnerships, operations and regulation. I offer a new perspective and am a strong advocate of parent and community involvement. I am hopeful you will allow me to bring your voices to the LISD Board table.

What are the main challenges facing your town/district, and how would you resolve them?
The heart of every community begins in the local homes and schools. Minimizing State and Federal involvement in our local education system not only allows for parents and schools to shape the future of their own precious children, but also operationally and fiscally improves efficiency and accountability. Engaging parents, though probably one of the most difficult challenges, is also one of the most critical to the success of any local education system. Board access, accountability and transparency are imperative for that success. LISD’s investment in technology has enhanced student learning; however, it remains only one of many tools available. I firmly believe any tool is meaningless to the success of educating our children without investing in our schools’ most important asset – our teachers. There may be room for additional teacher input and latitude with regard to tools and techniques used to benefit the individual student needs in the classroom. HB 5 takes a step toward meeting those individual needs, while also reducing standardized testing to some degree. Having some merit, these Statewide tests seem to result in lowering standards to portray higher levels of performance. We have an opportunity here to create additional accountability measures for higher levels of performance for students, teachers and schools alike. [3]
