Ed K for SBISD

After careful consideration and deliberation with my family, I've officially withdrawn my name from the SBISD Board of Trustee's election this year. I've decided to focus my energies for the remainder of this year on other things I can do to support children and families throughout our district. To those who have given me their support this past year plus, I don't have words to express my appreciation. I look forward to what's next and hope to have your continued support in finding meaningful new ways to encourage and assist families throughout our community.

Nothing campaign related today but wanted to put out a public notice to anyone still following my page. As many of you may know, I'm a cycling enthusiast and support our local hike and bike trails. That said (please share widely!!)....

BIG NEWS ON SPRING BRANCH HIKE/BIKE TRAILS - As many of us in Binglewood know there was a walking/bike trail recently put in that runs parallel between Emnora and Kempwood. It runs from Wirt to Blalock. There is also a trail from Gessner to Northbrook High School. The Houston Parks Board is working with Spring Branch Management District to connect the 2 trails between Blalock and Northbrook High School. I think this is a great idea but really want to know more! There is a public meeting (on zoom) coming up soon. I'll be watching and would love to see our neighbors there too! Here are a couple of links where the parks board is taking a survey from us about the trails and hosting a zoom meeting next week:

We have a survey (flyer attached) out right now and would love for folks to fill it out who either work, attend, or are involved with the high school. The survey is linked here:

We will also have a virtual community meeting about this project on December 13 via Zoom at 6 pm. The meeting will be bilingual, and we will give out gift cards as door prizes at the end. The meeting registration link is here:

Election day is just 2 days away. If you have not already voted, Saturday, May 7th is your last chance to make your voice heard. A vote for me is a vote for an experienced leader who:

- Understands how to work with the community and bring them together for a common goal.

- Can take new concepts from ideas to reality using committee structured community and expert input.

- Knows how to evaluate established procedures and implement process changes.
