Recently, track signage at John Kincaide Stadium was renamed to recognize our very own Dallas ISD alum, and Olympic champion, Sha’Carri Richardson. Thank you, Sha’Carri, for all you’ve done for your Dallas ISD family. We are excited to cheer you on in whatever the future holds.
Dallas ISD is still seeking community input on the district’s five-year priorities: Dallas ISD is resetting its five-year priorities, which serve as a guide for student achievement goals and the overall direction of the district.
To ensure the community’s voice is heard, the Board of Trustees is hosting Community Listening events across the city of Dallas.
These meetings will run through November, and parents, students, staff, and community members are encouraged to participate and play an active role in shaping the future of the district.
I will be hosting a Community Listening Session at 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 4, at David W. Carter High School. I invite each and every one of you to attend and share your input. For more information, email me at joyceforeman@dallasisd.org.
