2/8. This despite all investigations being closed by TCSO & @teainfo w/ no findings of wrongdoing. The only thing that remains is an opinion from an "independent investigator" who is known to be neither independent nor qualified as an investigator.
3/8. It is almost certain that @jeremywstory orchestrated this entire mess in #RRISD w/ help from bad actors across the state, including known xenophobes, high 💵 players from @TexasScorecard, & other PAC-funders looking to privatize #TxEd in the upcoming legislative session.
4/8. Local chapters of groups like Moms for Liberty continued raising funds late last year on behalf of the accuser despite knowing full well that she could not possibly be in her third trimester of pregnancy. Where did these funds go? 🤔 That's remains mostly unknown.
5/8. After the baby's due date, some even went so far as claiming to have met the fictitious tyke & posting pictures on social media to keep the scam going. Former board members & known associates of the #TerribleTwo Trustees are now attempting to change the narrative... 🙄
6/8. They're currently claiming the baby was stillborn after pictures of the jilted ex out block walking w/ the #HateSlate were shared on social media; an unforced error coordinated by One Family PAC treasurer Lisa Lusby & Director @loveyourskinjen. 🤨
7/8. Incredibly, Ms. Lusby publically confirmed the following day that the @TravisCoSheriff investigation had to be suspended b/c Ms. Ruiz refused to hand over key evidence that might back up her claims & if she did the case would be dismissed outright. 😠
8/8. If the #HateSlate is elected to the @RoundRockISD school board, this doesn't end with hiring a new superintendent. The objective is 🔥'g down our district to prop up an illusion that #TxEd is failing & must be replaced. OUR kids are not their pawns! #WakeUp & #RiseUp4RRISD‼️

1/7. 🌄 #RRISD1family! I'm gonna explain student outcome goals like y'all are 5 just to clarify what #RRISD1CrimeFamily's #HateSlate is *pretending* not to get in their FB 💩post claiming to care about EVERY student 👇.
(@RoundRockISD Educators - feel free to ✅️ my work. 😉)
2/7. When you're trying to make data-informed decisions to fix a problem you have to start with a baseline. See how the number steps up 2-4% every year? That's growth ON TOP OF the expectation of a full year's worth of academic progress. Otherwise the gap would stay = or widen.
3/7. It's a different set of students every year b/c another group of 3rd graders replaces the last. Between 2024 & 2025 the goal jumps up by 10% 👇. That's because 2025 is the 1st group of 3rd graders exclusively exposed to the "science of reading" from Kinder ➡️ 3rd grade.
2/6. Let's dig into her claim a little, shall we? Mind you, I can only scratch the surface here because the final numbers aren't in yet. Meet Jim Moyer, Fairmont developer & primary donor of pro-Ed privatizer Conservative Action for Texas PAC. texastribune.org/2022/05/19/tex…
3/6. Here's some more fascinating info about this Hemphill billionaire who's suddenly so interested in a local school district over 250 miles away from him. 🤷♀️google.com/amp/s/www.12ne…
1/9. 👇 @antraasa is talking about former Deputy Commissioner of @teainfo, Dr. Jeff Cottrill. In 2021, it was pretty widely known in #TxEd circles that Cottrill wanted to exit the agency & was looking for a superintendent position in Central Texas. #RRISD1family
2/9. If his name looks familiar to @RoundRockISD folks, that's because around 9/2021 Trustee #DanielleWeston had started cc'ing/bcc'ing Deputy Commissioner Cottrill on numerous internal emails (including several protected from disclosure as @tuxedo_jack has previously chronicled)
3/9. In 10/2021 the #RRISD school board received notice from Cottrill that @teainfo was assigning a monitor to our district & attributing this decision to a complaint filed by @RoundRockISD's former staff attorney against former board member & president Chad Chadwell in 2019.
REMINDER: 👇 All this is still true! Dr. Ann Dixon's $20K+ "report" to the @RoundRockISD BoTs was based exclusively on unverified & unsworn nonsense from an att'y who's only ethical obligation outside a courtroom is to their client, not truth or transparency. #rrisd1family 1/
The most generous explanation for the conclusions in @teainfo investigator Dr. Dixon's ridiculously overpriced "report" is that she lacks any basic understanding of the Tex. Rules of Civil Procedure & was unqualified for the scope of work for which she was contracted. 2/
The 2nd most generous is that her understanding of the job was producing a report that would support reaching a separation agreement between @RoundRockISD & our newly hired Superintendent to bring peace to the district & simultaneously avoid a wrongful termination lawsuit. 3/
Coach Marsha is a badass at managing the room. Kudos to her bc it ain't an easy one... And in an an ultimate pot-meet-kettle moment, Danielle just lectured President Weir about using "rhetoric" for saying the goals should support % growth without breaking individual students.
Reading Academies is only required by state for K-3 and #RRISD is (thankfully) implementing it for K-5. Not all schools have been through the training yet. Amy suggests adding 10% points for groups that need most focus. @ryansmithblog will update goals based on new assumption.
Anyone know whether the @RoundRockISD BoT meeting still starts at 5:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.? There appear to be conflicting notices on this. #rrisd1family
The meeting has now started. The board members are saying the pledge. They will be taking public comments next. There's a strange echo on the feed that will make this meeting difficult to listen to virtually if it isn't corrected.
First speaker is Snehal the President of the Counsel of PTAs. She's hear to welcome the new trustees.
