SISDโ€™s Leadership Team was inspired by a few Sunnyvale legends today. Thanks to former Mayor Jim Phaup, Former Superintendent Doug Williams, long-time Board President Brad Cravens and Sunnyvale ISD Superintendent Matt Kimball for providing words of motivation and vision!

With soaring inflation rates and no increase in the stateโ€™s funding formula since 2019, SISD and all Texas schools are feeling the financial โ€œsqueeze.โ€ But one thing is certain: we will do anything for our Raiders: dallasnews.com/news/educatioโ€ฆ

A small Texas school district feels inflation squeeze with base state funding stagnant

The rising cost of educating kids is one of the significant factors straining school budgets across the state.

Myth: โ€œTexas is fully funding education.โ€ Reality: Since 2019, there has been no increase by lawmakers to the basic allotment, despite inflationary price increases of up to 19%.

8 out of 10 TX school districts will have a deficit budget in 2024 because of the lack of funding by our state government! Sitting on a surplus but holding districts hostage to Abbottโ€™s demands. We must save our public schools!

Be Curiousโ€ฆNot Judgmental When a student (or staff member)struggles, curiosity is key! Dive deep to uncover the root cause, ignite their curiosity, and never stop believing in their potential.
