⭐️ Please join us in congratulating Principal Kellie Raymond from Dripping Springs ISD for being ESC Region 13's Star of the Month! ⭐️

Kellie was nominated by one of our instructional coaches, Angela Buckingham. When asked to describe how Kellie is making a positive impact, Angela wrote, "Kellie brings joy, strong leadership, organization, and clarity as principal of Dripping Springs Elementary. She is a model for how principals can take a coaching approach to partner with teachers. The students, teachers, and community love her! I am constantly in awe at how she balances it all with the appearance of ease, and she gives me hope for all leaders in education."

He believes that safe and reliable transportation is a vital component of educational success. Carl actively engages with school communities to understand their needs and is always looking for ways to improve the transportation experience for students and their families. His approachable nature and willingness to listen foster strong relationships with staff, parents, and students alike."

DSISD is excited to next highlight the welding program at Dripping Springs HS. It is a rapidly growing CTE pathway where students are able to work on a variety of projects and develop the skills needed for today's workforce. #iamDSISD

Texas public schools have had to adjust their tight budgets as new legislation requires updates to school grounds while providing little funding to support the changes.

Being a life long Republican - is very sad that our Governor simply has to continue to bash our public education professionals. We get it -your wealthy donor in Pennsylvania wants vouchers. But please stop denigrating our teachers, bus drivers, admin and staff @GovAbbott

As summer facility improvements continue, many districts are allocating federal ESSER dollars to install air purification technology. FYI - districts have until April 2026 to spend their rescue plan funds.

Saddened to continue to see public school educators being attacked, especially as they enthusiastically await and prepare to begin a new school year.

I've been an educator since 2002, and I've never witnessed any woke agendas. What is taught are the TEKS ~ those are the basics of learning that come from TEA.

Tonight I'll be lifting all of my fellow public educators in prayer as we continue to be demonized. God bless #txed. #PublicEducation #teachers

Outdoor air is full of allergens, but did you know indoor air quality can often be worse? When school administrators are dealing with students who have asthma and allergies, they should take steps to ensure that all classrooms have healthy air.
