Why have I chosen to run for CISD school board trustee in the special election? Because the students have gotten lost in the fray.
Most of my adult life has been spent as an educator & volunteer with public school students. I have advocated for my own children & empowered them to advocate for themselves.
As I watched the school board become more partisan & blatantly political, I could no longer stand back.
I also believe that an educator’s perspective is needed on our school board.
I will listen to the concerns of the parents, teachers, and students to work to create an environment in which all students feel safe and are able to reach their fullest potential.
Our administration, teachers, staff and students need the support of a school board, not members trying to tear them apart. Let’s keep politics off the school board ballot this election.
While fashion has changed over the years, one thing that has remained a constant is my passion for education.
I’m a formally trained educator with a master’s degree and have spent time as a public school classroom teacher.
I taught 6th grade, both in an elementary and middle school setting. In elementary, I taught all subjects; in middle school, I taught language arts. I then taught 4th grade.
Thanks to my time in public school classrooms both as a teacher and a volunteer, I understand the challenges teachers face in working to meet the needs of all students.

Strong PTOs make for even stronger schools.
Elizabeth is a leader in our community. A current (and past!) PTO President, her focus is on working with school administrators and teachers to ensure students are at the heart of all we do.
Thank you for inviting me into your homes, meeting for coffee, and letting me share with you, your friends, and your families how I plan to put all Dragons first, ensuring all students feel safe and have access to leading-edge learning.
This is a grass-roots effort and we need all the help we can get! We are facing a PAC (political action committee) backed opponent which means deep pockets and political influence.
School Board Place 7 is the deciding factor as to whether our school board will be weighted with PAC-backed trustees or if our school board will keep the focus on our students, not politics.
