DeSoto ISD Investigation/ Board Leadership Change
As our district is under investigation after several failed leadership decisions we the Community are partly responsible because we are not holding the elected officials accountable. First, we should step back and ask ourselves are we doing what's best for our children and city? Secondly, we're allowing the Captain to continue to sit at the helm of our ship (district) and steer it as it is rapidly sinking with $69 million in debt/$200 million w/ interest, previous Superintendent missteps, cabinet members misappropriation of funds(taxpayer monies), investigations by TEA, Attorney General and The Secretary of State and other findings.
We must rally together and call for new board leadership. Two of the current officers were seated during the time of the allegations. Should we wait until more findings are leaked or should we take action now and do our part as a community? If the head of the school district has been changed then let's do our part as a community and ensure change is made on the board which we can control! It's time we take action to show we are active, we are concerned and we are part of "De" Solution!
It is time to call for the changing of the officers and we must place a sense of urgency on the board members to take ownership and elect new officers during the investigation. Let's show our children that with great power comes greater responsibility and accountability! They were elected to govern and they failed to do that for years choosing to operate as a 4-0 majority ruling board and that has allowed the mishaps to occur in our school district.
