During a recent government meeting, public comments highlighted key concerns regarding education funding and community engagement. Perla Borges, a Democratic nominee for state representative in House District 93, addressed the Board, emphasizing the importance of public funding for local schools, including Northwest ISD, Keller ISD, and Fort Worth ISD. Borges expressed her opposition to school vouchers, arguing that they would divert essential funds from public education.

Borges praised the Board for their efforts in supporting students and educators, noting the district's reputation as one of the best in North Texas. She urged the Board to improve communication with parents, suggesting the use of graphics and short video clips to explain complex topics like tax compression and STAAR testing. She emphasized the need for clear, accessible information to help families understand educational policies and initiatives.

The meeting also included updates on upcoming events, such as the Team of 8 training scheduled for July 29 and a new teacher breakfast on July 30, signaling the district's preparations for the upcoming school year. The Board's commitment to fostering community engagement and transparency was evident as they navigated these discussions.
