[Their answers to “Why do I teach?” and “What do I need?” reflect a relentless passion for their jobs, a desire for more autonomy and calls for more funding — not in their take-home pay but for their classrooms. Also on their wish lists: parents enthused about supporting their kids, time for lesson planning and administrators with a teacher’s heart.

Each participant arrived at the photo shoots, which moved from school to school the last three months of 2018, with a prop that illustrated his or her teaching story.]

"Education is the key used to unlock the mind that allows our children to dream, plan, and achieve their goals.

During the last week of early voting, teacher Eric Hale writes about how 13 cents can move the district from poverty to prosperity.

"The district is moving in the right direction, but it can’t let up. It also can’t cut its way to success. To pay for programs that are working, it cut $60 million from the budget last year, including librarians and counselors.

Voters should approve the TRE to give the DISD a chance to continue its progress to becoming the kind of district students deserve and this city needs."

Vote FOR Propositions A,B,C & D on your ballot to benefit Dallas public schools. Early voting starts Monday, October 22!
