6. Republican voters overwhelmingly approved ten ballot propositions that are intended to provide clear direction to and elevate accountabilities for all republicans elected to public office. Even though a school board race is non-partisan, I’d like to review the three propositions with you. First was Proposition 4, which states: Texas schools should teach students basic knowledge and American exceptionalism and reject Critical Race Theory and other curricula that promote Marxist doctrine and encourage division based on creed, race, or economic status. Do you support this proposition, and do you believe that Rockwall schools are already doing this?

7. Next was Proposition 9, which states: Texas parents and guardians should have the right to select schools, whether public or private, for their children, and the funding should follow the student. Do you support this proposition and how do you believe this would impact Rockwall schools?

8. Finally, Proposition 10, which reads: Texans affirm that our freedoms come from God and that the government should have no control over the conscience of individuals. Do you agree with this proposition and how do you believe this applies to Rockwall schools? (Mask mandates? Vaccine mandates? Other?)

9. As a school board member, who do you see as your primary constituent and how do you intend to make sure that you are listening to their concerns? (Parents, Faculty, Administrators, Taxpayers…?)
