| “ | Why are you a good fit for the YISD Board of Trustees?
I have been in business for 43 years in El Paso and I have lived in the Eastwood area for 44 years. Over the past 40 years, I have been involved with several civic organizations such as the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Project Amistad. In working with these and other organizations, I always kept the best interests of the community in mind. I have no agenda in running for the YISD board of trustees. What skills do you have that make you well suited for the position? I am able to review, analyze and develop courses of action for organizations. In dealing with the school board specifically, one must realize the board of trustees hires the superintendent, adopts the budget and sets policy. I feel I will be able to help the district by reviewing the budget and keeping the best interests in mind when setting policy for the school district. I have served on several boards and understand the mindset to work with other board members in a positive manner for the betterment of the organization. What is YISD doing right? What would you change? YISD is currently undertaking an important update of facilities for the betterment of students. As far as changes, I will speak up when change is needed while keeping the community in mind at all times.[6] |
