Actually, if you count the 1 teacher that was saved at Jerome Garza son's school (Travis Middle) his loss is actually a .5 teacher gain. My kids school was decimated by both the RIF and by the current cut. Would he had voted against the cut if they had not exempted Travis. When the TEA and Dept of Ed tells you that you can exempt schools and you do not, I feel that a conservator is not far away. BTW - we the taxpayers have to pay for that conservator.

Thank you for being a voice in the community.

DISD is in trouble and the taxpayeers should be speaking out as often as possible. When I read the memo from HD Director Kim Olson, and it stated "If HD makes all of its goals they would be 75% over the state mandate for Bilingual", I was shocked. Is that where the money is going? Don't know, but that's a question.
