Students from all over Dallas spoke in support of NO MORE TEACHER CUTS at the DISD Board of Trustee meeting Thursday, 3/24. Seagoville Dragons, Booker T. Pegasus, and a TAG Griffin were among the many who gave excellent speeches with passion and clarity.
Students - you can pull the video of your speech from the DISD webcast - get webcast video here. If you upload a copy of your speech to YouTube, send us the link and we will post it!
Also, a teacher who spoke provided a chart showing the retention and graduation rate trends for DISD over the last five years. See the Trend Chart here. The speaker's message was clear - what the next five years look like will depend on the decisions that will be made by the Board of Trustees in the next three months.
The Save Texas Schools Rally in Austin was incredible, and we are glad Dallas got to be a part of it. Dr. Hinojosa encouraged parents to keep working to make their voices heard. He also introduced Dalton Sherman, a 7th grader at Dallas Environmental Science Academy magnet middle school who's no stranger to great oration.
