“	Excellence Without Exception Excellence is the baseline for our campaign and together we will work to fix the broken dysfunctional HISD system by providing dedicated and real leadership at the Board and community level. Job #1 – Every HISD child must be able to read by the 3rd grade, without exception. Parents, teachers, trustees and the community will partner to ensure student success. Each student must be college or workforce ready upon graduation.	”
