I am running for HISD School Board-Position 7 in November 2016 and I invite you to join me in my campaign.
As a proud graduate of TH Rogers and Bellaire High School, I know how important a high quality education is to every Houstonian. I am a former educator and Teacher of the Year with 7 years of experience teaching physics and leading change in Texas public schools as well as 3 years as Chief Strategy Officer for Project GRAD. I understand Houston communities and higher education and know what it takes for our schools to be successful.
Together we can rebuild trust and buy-in across HISD, bringing administrators, teachers, staff, students, parents, and the community at large together so every HISD school delivers a quality education.
This race will be a sprint and with your support I know we can win. Join us at at http://anne4hisd.com/.
This is to replace Harvin Moore, who has announced his resignation and expressed a preference for there to be an election and not an appointment. He got his wish for that, as reported at the end of this story. Sung ran for the Board in 2013 against Moore – you can check out my interview with her from 2013 here – and could do well in a Presidential turnout year, given how the vote went that year. The winner of the November special election would have to run again in 2017 for a full term. Now that we know there will be one, I expect other candidates to make their interest known.
