Campaign themes

Vasquez-Jones stated the following about her campaign in a Q&A with Community Impact:[3]

“

What will you do to improve technology access and make access more equitable across the school district?
I will support all proposals that entail upgrades, new technology in classrooms and training for all faculty and staff. Having the latest and current technology and software is imperative to be able to build strong classroom teachers and students. Technology growth should be supported throughout all grade levels (prekindergarten–12th grade). All teachers and students will be able to use technology in a variety of capacities. Hays Consolidated Independent School District will strive for the utmost high-tech learning environment.

Why should voters choose you?
I have been an educator for over 20 years. I have worked with many students of all ages (6 years–21 years old) and know what it takes to build strong students. I also have been blessed to work with many teachers, staff, administrators, parents and the community. It truly "takes a village to raise a child." It takes all stakeholders to build strong schools, leaders, and students. Thus, I have the background knowledge to share with others to strive for excellence!

What is the most pressing issue facing the district?
Size! This community is growing rapidly and more schools are needed. We must be ready for this fast-growing community. Our students deserve the best, and overcrowded schools are not what I want. [4]
