Anne Halsey for SMCISD Board of Trustees At-Large on May
9
Putting kids first!
I am running for the San Marcos CISD Board of Trustees because I
believe public schools are the backbone of any healthy community. I am
determined to stand up for my fellow parents, neighbors, and taxpayers
invested in the future of SMCISD.
When Jeff and I moved here, many people told us we should not
send our kids to school in San Marcos. We were shocked. But as proud
products of public schools, we decided to assess SMCISD for ourselves.
Thank goodness we did!
For five years now, our kids have been thriving in our schools.
Sadie is in 4th grade, Charlie is in 1st, and Jesse will start kinder
in the fall. We have met wonderful teachers, administrators, and
families at every step. And we look forward to many more years of
success for our children and their classmates.
Great things are happening in San Marcos CISD every day. Yet I
keep hearing from families who have pulled their kids or are thinking
about pulling their kids from the district.
**We have to send a new message to every child and family in
SMCISD: You belong here and you will succeed here!**
I believe the well-being of my family depends upon the
prosperity of our community and the success of our public schools. As
your board member, I will act with the same integrity, common sense,
creativity, fairness, and respect that I give my own family.
I am a mom, not a politician. I believe in smart spending, which
means scrutinizing our budget. I cut coupons. I carefully research and
manage our household expenses. I know that every dollar spent must be
spent wisely the first time, so we’re not paying more down the road.
SMCISD must hold true to its fiscal responsibility to the
community, which means we must educate all of our students to become
high-achieving, productive citizens. The board must work to protect
our schools by setting appropriate class sizes and by seeing to it
that our teachers have the training and support they need to help our
students succeed.
I’m not a political insider who hopes to use the board as a
stepping-stone. I am a mother of three who cares deeply about my
family, this community, and all of the children we entrust to our
school district.
I am running a thrifty, grassroots campaign. I am counting on
the good word and support of people like you, people I meet every day
with my family on the playground, on the baseball field, and in the
school pick-up line.
I am asking for your help as I work with our district to put
kids first. Can you contribute $10, $25, $50—whatever amount works for
your budget—to help me cover the cost of yard signs, t-shirts, and
buttons? You will have my heartfelt gratitude and I promise that your
money will be spent carefully and locally.
And if you have already contributed or put one of my campaign
signs in your yard—THANK YOU!!
I am devoted to our kids and our schools. With your support, and
your vote on May 9, I will bring a fresh perspective and common sense
voice to the San Marcos school board and dedicate myself to giving our
children the first-rate education they deserve.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Anne
