SBOEQuestion & Answer
My primary role and responsibility will be to establish an outstanding and worthy oversight function over the educational policies, Welfares of the Students, and their hardworking Educators without prejudice but with a patriotic mindset to see the State of Texas Emerge always as the State to beat par excellence at any National comparison in the State. My ultimate responsibility for The State Board of Education (SBOE) is the legislative authority and timely adoption of the TEKS for each subject of the required curriculum. As an SBOE member, I will also nominate educators, parents, business and industry representatives, and employers to serve on TEKS review committees.

Public information in discussion forums, Parental and Educators normal comments and optional or anonymous submission as well as public opinions from non-academic staffers. Students’ private and public views are the most important resources in gaining information about Texas Public Education.
Not acceptable. Although it is one of the executive constitutional roles of
Governors but the Governors will select his friend or cronies out of sympathy or political promised who may not be well competent in the area of such selection, I would rather preferred the election or selection among the 15 board members elected by their constituents.
I felt that Charter Schools have been able to successfully survive and impact the lives of the students that attend them and satisfactorily impress the parents that choose to send their Children to them.
The current structure of approving charters school should be reviewed and allowed a public opinion on the selections. Commissioners’ may be biased in approving such requests for their business cronies or political benefactors.
I believed the current number of TEKS curriculum standards are well set out to cater to today’s educational standards although there should be room for future modifications to be constantly made in other to keep the standard of the Lone Star State when compared to others in the Union.
Not really. However, I will recommend an expansive upgrade to the process of adoption and allow for more efficiency and effectiveness of the TEKS curriculum standards.
Absolutely SBOE should play a major and more frontal role in approving Textbooks and instructional Materials for our students. This will help eliminate some insertion of Radical and Ideologues philosophical ideas that can fundamentally change the thought process of the Students and produce several vices that are National and societal destroyers. Both State and Local control is necessary and should be continued. However, the final approval should be vested in the Elected SBOE Members.
Yes, I believed the TEKS was well crafted to cover all the various knowledge developmental stages as a requirement to allow Texas Students receive a well-rounded education. However, I will want to encourage that due to global demand and competitive edges, STEM educational curriculum should be given more attention and instilled more to impact the educational achievements of our Students as this is in
more demand and the markets for their application are still unsaturated like the other subjects.
The Educators and Educator groups should be allowed to submit their opinions and suggestions that will enhance progressive harmony between their relationships with the students, their parents, and the School Board, and the Government they represent in the areas of Policy Making and progressive Educational standards for our state to influence the Nation in general.
Standardized Testing should remain the indices or measurement for our student’s promotion/graduation. This will always let the state Board knows the students who are exceptional in their education and those that needed some help to aid them in becoming part of the progress train. It will help the policies makers to differentiate those who are Book smart and those that will be absolved as street smart and balance our societal growth and representation in the State and eventually nationally.
I am a Father of Three (3) Schooling Children in Elementary; Junior High and High School, under the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, My greatest Priority for Our Children is the Delivery of Sound and Second to Non Educational Policies and Standards that are the envy of all other developed or Developing Nations in the 21st Century and Beyond. The Welfare of our State Educators; (Teachers, Administrators, and Non-Academic Supporting Staffers) that follow the traditional Curriculum implementation that delivered pure and applied up-to-date Educational and Moral Standards is another thing of greatest interest to me.
