“Take Back Our Schools 2009” Concert and Rally

(Randy Hooper and Me)

The first annual “Take Back Our Schools 2009” Concert and Rally at Love and War in Texas on Saturday night was a great success. Supporters, teachers and parents gathered together to enjoyed the beautiful evening weather and the great music of Randy Hopper. Through my life, I have found that sometimes the relaxed approach is the best way to get people talking about what they want and what they need done. It is no different when talking about our schools. I’ve heard loud and clear that it all comes down to accountability, communication and transparency. Parents and teachers want more of each of those areas in our school district.

Everyone has been ready for my positive message of change and new ideas for making our schools what we have all come to expect. Parents want ideas like Williams Tech High to slow our dropout rate and prepare our children for high paying 21st century jobs. Teachers want ideas like outsourcing human resources, not only to reduce school district cost but to remove the politics from the hiring practices in our district. People want real solutions, not empty talk or promises.

Teachers also want someone with leadership to help balance the budget without laying-off teachers. Parents want someone that has the leadership to balance the budget without increasing classroom sizes. Everyone wants leadership that will balance the budget without raising taxes. People want that leadership and business experience that is currently lacking on the current school board.

For 10 years, I have brought that leadership, experience, new ideas and real solutions to companies around the world. Now is the time that we bring that leadership to the Plano ISD school board. Vote for leadership and experience that brings a positive change to our schools. Vote for Steve Navarre on May 9th.

I want to thank Ty and Tory at Love and War in Texas, for supporting my campaign and allowing me to bring parents and teachers together on a beautiful spring night to listen to local music. I want to thank Randy Hopper for providing his legendary music for my event. All three guys are hardworking, honest people that I am thankful to know.

For those that did not make it out to the concert, we still have a few shirts left that we will be giving away to those that donate to the campaign (that way you can have a little bit of history). Send me an email if you are interested in a shirt.
