We have not decided whether we will reopen the position or open another Instructional Specialist position, but the second we make that decision, you all will be the first to know. Until then, you will find the revised Organizational Chart below.
Election Season - Texas Educators
As we begin the 2020 election season, the importance of Texas’ educators to the future of our state cannot be overstated, particularly when it comes to their critical role in the civic process.
Because Texans place such great trust in their public schools, it is critically important that school districts not abuse that trust by using their position as a platform to express their own opinions about political issues. Similarly, school districts must take care not to use taxpayer resources for the benefit of private individuals—including political candidates.
Educators, school district employees, and school board members do not lose their freedom of speech merely because they are public servants. In recognition of the difficulty educators face balancing these two principles, the Office of the Attorney General prepared the advisory (attached below) about the role of Texas schools in politics and elections. The advisory includes a compilation of laws and statutes, as well as a helpful Frequently Asked Questions section.
