Three candidates vying for Katy ISD board of trustees Position 4 in the May 6 election...
The seat is currently held by Leah Wilson, who has chosen not to run for re-election. The candidates, Morgan Calhoun, Cicely Taylor and Erica Brettell, were all given the same questions.Taylor has lived in Katy for more than 17 years, and she’s the mother of two Katy ISD graduates. She’s a “lifelong educator,” she said, having worked in the classroom as a teacher and now as an administrator.
“My nonprofit experience has further provided the understanding of how to adapt programs to specific audiences and needs,” Brettell said.Restricting access to literature “Book banning is an inaccurate term applied by the media to a legal process intended to remove harmful material that does not align with Texas law,” she said.
Taylor is against broad book banning policies, she said, but added that parents should have the right to determine what is appropriate for their children. “Our students deserve literature that is not only age and developmentally appropriate but also presents diversity in thought, language and experiences,” she said.
The safety of students and staff is an issue that requires a proactive approach, Calhoun said. “Katy ISD has taken an aggressive stance in upgrading the security of the facilities, we should and will continue to audit and ensure that the district’s campuses are safe and fortified against anyone seeking to cause harm,” she said.By having open communication with teachers, Taylor said, the district can ascertain the needs of teachers and address them accordingly.
