Student SuccessEvery CCISD student deserves access to a world-class education, so that we can ensure their educational success. Parents know that access to a high-quality education creates greater opportunities for their children to succeed and contribute to society. Pooja believes in creating educational programs that fulfill student success & parent choice. Further, high-quality public education creates an educated, efficient workforce that attracts job-creating companies and provides opportunities for our children in Corpus Christi. Pooja wants to make Corpus Christi the city that has a future for our children and good public education is the foundation for that future.
-
Fiscal ResponsibilitySchool Districts around the State of Texas are facing significant funding issues that threaten the quality of education our children receive at CCISD schools. It is important that CCISD sets a reasonable & responsible budget that prioritizes student success and provides them with the tools & instruction they need. CCISD needs to continue to work with state & local leaders to increase, and stabilize, funding for Corpus Christi’s public-school children.
-
Supporting Teachers and StaffStudents in CCISD deserve the best instruction to ensure they achieve their educational goals. It is important for School Boards in Texas to advocate at the state level for more funding to increase teacher pay & benefits. Without additional funding, local School Boards are faced with the challenge of hiring & retaining the best teachers, leading to high turnover that negatively impacts our children’s educational success.
