Trustee Marshall: Happy New Year, District 2 Families!

Congratulations to Long Middle School and Sudie Williams Middle School, winners of first and third place in the Secondary Chess Tournament of 2021.

I would like to extend best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.

During winter break, I hope you had the chance to catch up with friends and family and enjoy some rest and relaxation. I have certainly spent some time reflecting on the achievements and challenges of 2021, and thinking about the work and opportunities that lie ahead in 2022.

A new year always brings a sense of renewal, of collective commitment and purpose to excel in research, learning, teaching, and service to our community.

Dallas ISD remains focused on educational equity and finding unique and innovative ways to partner, support and create opportunities that make our schools a place where all children enjoy learning, develop strong relationships, and continue to grow each day socially, emotionally, and academically.

As always, thank you all for your continued support. I hope 2022 is filled with love, patience, health, wisdom, prosperity, and education!

January is Board Recognition Month

As part of School Board Recognition Month, I would like to recognize my fellow trustees who work with me at the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees. As board members, we not only create policies for public schools, but also serve as a link between the community and the district. It is an honor to work with my fellow trustees to improve the lives and education of our students at Dallas ISD!
