I hope you are having another great week in AISD! I continue to enjoy my time visiting campuses and meeting with staff and students. It is encouraging for me to see so many hard-working and engaged people when I am out on campuses. We have amazing students and employees in AISD and I enjoy seeing you do what you do best.

This week, I want to address voting. Voting is so important, and it is even more important for educators to lead the way in showing our students that voting is our civic duty. In Texas, the most important election is the primary. Many candidates don’t even have an opponent in the general election, so whoever wins the primary will be the person elected. We have a primary coming up on March 5. Early voting begins on February 20. Please make your voting plan now. 

Turnout is normally low in Texas. If 90% of educators would vote in every election, politicians would be much more interested in what we have to say! Have a great weekend!
