Happy to remain in the fight for our #TexasPublicSchools with Texas Latino School Boards Association & now honored to join the @UTexasCoE Advisory Council with other #TxEd champs. A sobering convo today on TX teacher shortages, with brainstorming on how to better support all who serve our students. #HookEm!

From @UTexasCoE: ⬆️ student growth + ⬇️ college grads entering teaching + ⬆️ teachers retiring/exiting = teacher shortage! Result: less-experienced teachers. 😕 #TxEd’s “bodies in classrooms” response is inadequate! We must support/keep current Ts & recruit/train future Ts!

Today's quote by @C_Martinez: “Teachers don’t leave bc of the kids. They leave due to the conditions we’ve created.” 😬 At @UTexasCoE mtg, Dean Martinez shares heart-wrenching stories of teachers & this 5-min video: kut.org/education/2022…. Charles Butt Foundation shares sobering data:

At @UTexasCoE mtg, #LeAnneHernandez notes 92% retention by #TxEdSTART in 14 Austin ISD schls. Novice teachers often fend4selves in challenging schls, w/ optimism but shallow toolbox. David DeMatthews adds novice principals often go to high-turnover #EcoDis schls. txstart.education.utexas.edu

Props to Manor Ed Foundation for providing $6M+ in scholarships for scholars of the Manor ISD, now under the leadership of Board Pres Dino Prodigy & Interim Supt @MikePerkins_PLC! Props, too, to @DeckerMiddle 🎸 for “making spirits bright”! 👏🏽🎅🏽🎁

I filed for the Manor ISD Board in the 11/5 general election! I look forward to earning your support for our campaign to focus on our Manor ISD students & to increase the academic outcomes of #DestinationManor. Stay tuned! 👨🏽‍🎓👏🏽👩🏾‍🎓 #Integrity #Experience #Leadership #Mathias4MISD
