SHANNON'S PURPOSE
Thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo is paramount to addressing the obstacles before us as a district. As promised in my first term as a GCISD Trustee, I, along with other board members, accomplished incredible achievements for our kids. I am a straight shooter and I speak truth. Those who know me know that I always set the bar at EXCELLENT. I do not shy away from hard work - in fact, I thrive on it - I do not wear out or lose focus until that goal of excellence is achieved. Our kids are the future and they deserve the highest quality educational experience.
In only 3 years, we accomplished great things in GCISD:
Safety was made priority.
We worked with Grapevine and Colleyville to have SRO's in all schools.
Critical Race Theory & Pornographic Books were eliminated.
We brought forth policy that was pro-active; we led the nation in setting policy to protect our district.
Taxes were cut and new policies were made.
Over 3 years, stakeholders were given a 45 cent tax break.
Teachers enjoyed historic pay raises.
In 3 consecutive years, we raised teacher pay. In May 2023, teachers received 4% pay raises.
Instituted Curriculum-Driven Learning
We instituted horizontal and vertical alignment in curriculums throughout the district to ensure all children learn the same material, including phonics-based reading.
Excellence Full Transparency
New Perspective
Accountability Truth

We have an opportunity
to get back on track.
We have had challenges this past year that have impacted every child across every age spectrum. We have great OPPORTUNITY to get back on track and become better! I want to take the next step in giving back to this community that I love and adore - the community that launched every member of my family into the world and laid the foundation for us to create happy, meaningful, productive lives. This school board election is not about me, it is about WE!
It is time for us to take our schools back.
I have concerns that our district is being swept into the progressive current. We need full transparency on the issues facing the Board of Trustees, including complete transparency with spending, and holding ourselves at the highest of standards is important and vital to the success of our district. If we want to attract and retain the best teachers, we need to pay salaries on par with surrounding areas. We need sound budgeting, just like you manage your finances at home; our district should do the same.
