A letter for this group from our Superintendent:
Thank you to everyone who has called, written and even trekked to Austin to meet with lawmakers and attend rallys urging our legislators to Make Education A Priority! As I left Austin after a day full of meeting with lawmakers, it seems that some of our state leaders have forgotten about the importance of having excellent public schools. Not once in this statewide funding discussion have I heard senior state leadership talk publicly about excellence in education or preparing Texas students for a global economy. I have heard only about budget cuts and fingerpointing.
While the issue at hand may be about a budget shortfall, how we handle it today will have long-term impacts on the future of our state. In GCISD we have done our part. We continue to provide our students with an excellent education in a lean and fiscally reponsible manner. Our legislators need to continue hearing from parents, teachers, and community members about how the massive cuts that have been proposed will impact our people, our schools and our students. Your voices are being heard and YOU are making a difference!
All the BEST,
RR
