Thank you Queer Eye for showcasing just how amazing Austin ISD students and teachers are. The prom episode highlights the power of teachers and the resilience of students. So glad the world can now appreciate Austin teachers and students alongside me. 😍

If you are unvaccinated, please know that someone far removed from you, someone you’ll maybe never meet or know, but someone who is loved by many may someday be unable to get an ICU bed in a great time of need.

Please get vaccinated.

Dear schools,

Please be mindful of how you’re educating students on weight. They’re incredibly impressionable at a young age and your words are important. Health classes should be teaching sustainable behaviors NOT that weight loss is good and weight gain is bad. (1/4)

Check out this rock star AISD teacher, Elise Baughman (@MrsB_MacCIC)!

She'll be at #2021TheRemix talking about how student choice has strengthened relationships AND increased engagement & independence!

Couldn’t agree more, Skye. Please cancel school until we can safely get wifi access to our students who need it. This is an opportunity to put equity into action Austin ISD. Also, today many of us educators, myself included, are without power for this PD day. Please consider.
