 Conservative Leadership for League City’s Future

ISSUES I WANT TO ADDRESS

The District- The City- The Kids 

The controversies that have arisen over the years between the City and C.C.I.S.D. have been well documented. In my opinion, there is ample blame for both sides. Much of the cause and effect has to do with a mutual lack of communication and a failure, by either side, to display the type of respect any working partnership requires. Adversarial relationships seldom produce genuine compromise, but they do carry enough residual animosity to fuel the next unfortunate “event”.

It is my sincere hope, that as a newly elected Councilman, I will have an opportunity to continue to build on the new relationships with C.C.I.S.D. that will allow the City and the District to share the awesome responsibility of providing for the future needs of our children and the citizens of League City. I firmly believe that only through mutual cooperation and genuine trust can we hope to provide solutions that are at once beneficial to the District and to the City. The City has to acknowledge the legitimate role of the District to plan and provide facilities. The District needs to acknowledge that their plan need not ignore the Master Plan of the City. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive of one another.

My children are products of C.C.I.S.D. and I am proud of the superior job the District has done in providing quality education. Having said that, I am not prepared to give blanket approval to every decision the District makes with regard to facilities and planning. As a member of Council my priorities must include the well being of the City.
