Desoto and Glenn Heights Residents ~ Let's be frank.......DeSoto ISD is facing a serious financial crisis. As a result of poor leadership under Dr. Rogers the district have been placed in it's current position, and concerns continue to grow about the direction of the district moving forward.

It is rumored that Dr. Rogers is continuing to advise Interim Superintendent Mitchell. If true, many taxpayers and parents need to ask why the district would continue to rely on the same leadership philosophies that contributed to it's current challenges.

Board Members, it is time to begin a nationwide search for a qualified Superintendent with the experience, vision, and proven track record necessary to restore confidence and move DeSoto ISD forward.

Citizens are increasingly concerned that recent decisions made by Interim Superintendent Mitchell have weakened key areas of the district, including:

1.The dismissal and dismantling of the only team that successfully achieved the Board's stated goals.
2. The removal of the band instructor without a replacement in place, resulting in students missing an opportunity to compete at the State level~ a significant loss for the program and the students.
3. The restructuring of athletic training services, raising concerns about adequate oversight and support for student-athletes.
4. A business model approach that appears to prioritize retaining positions removed from direct student instruction while implementing budget reductions that could lead to larger classroom sizes.
5. The continued lack of a comprehensive plan to increase student enrollment and stabilize district revenues.

It's time for the Board to take decisive action, AND Citizens of DeSoto and Glenn Heights, please get actively engaged in board meetings and the process of selecting New Leadership capable of restoring academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and public trust.

If you did not watch last night's Board meeting, I encourage you to do so. Understand that where we are today is essential in determining where we go tomorrow.

Be Blessed. 🥰

DeSoto and Glenn Heights Residents,

Tonight's DeSoto ISD School Board meeting includes a discussion regarding the potential closure of one of the district's schools. This is an important decision that could impact students, families, and the community, so your presence and participation matter.

As previously noted, the district continues to face significant challenges stemming from decisions made during the previous administration ( Dr. Rogers). Please plan to attend the meeting, and make your voice heard. 📚🏫✍️

Happy " Mindful" Monday 🥰

It's time to put hidden agendas aside so that our city can move forward "together".

"DeSoto, So Much to Love" may be our slogan, but as for the past 5 years we have lived in a"DeSoto, So Much to Learn" city.

-So much to learn about the recent election. Councilwoman Parker's victory was the result of informed voters and dedicated volunteers who invested their time, energy, and commitment to the democratic process—not paid consultants or political maneuvering. The people spoke, and their voices mattered.

-So much to learn about development and the selection of developers. Development can create opportunities, strengthen infrastructure, and stimulate economic growth. However, when decisions appear to lack transparency or raise questions about favoritism, personal relationships, backroom dealings, or indirect benefits, public trust fades. When our focus began to shift from community priorities and toward personal interests /or the creation of Non Profits that benefit from developer contributions, residents naturally begin to ask questions.

-So much to learn about loving our neighbors instead of selling them out. We have to be truthful to facts and ask leaders questions~ why we are further and further behind. Accountability and the love for Desoto can coexist.

-So much to learn about pursuing growth that benefits the entire community, not just a select few. As city leaders begin the search for an Interim City Manager, the community understands that this is a temporary yet important position. We also know there are at least 2 experienced and knowledgeable individuals within the organization who possess the skills, institutional knowledge, and leadership abilities necessary to temporarily move DeSoto in the right direction during this transition.The question now is: Who will the City Council choose? Residents will be paying close attention to this process and will be watching with a keen eye to ensure the selection is based on qualifications, leadership, transparency, and the best interests of the entire community not development or relationships.

-So much to learn about leadership that embraces transparency instead of discouraging citizens from exercising their right to speak ~ Not leadership that allows division by pitting citizen against citizen.

-So much to learn about working together as a community instead of reducing people and their ideas to a political label ( Democrat/Republican).

These are just a few examples of how we ( community and leaders) can work together in an effort to move DeSoto forward and overcome the challenges that have slowed progress.

Together we can become better stewards of our community through love and respect for one another.

Now, let's enjoy this beautiful day that the Lord has made. 🥰

Dallas County Taxpayers this case is getting 🔥...... Looks like Judge Roach from Collin County has been assigned to oversee the Judge Vonda Bailey and the Commissioners case🤔

Here is a bigger issue, why would the County Commissioners vote for the taxpayers to pay all legal expenses for the Defendant? This will be quite expensive......

Happy " Freedom" Friday😘 Let's talk freely.

Life should be lived with purpose, balance, and integrity. Unfortunately, there are times especially in politics when personal interests seem to outweigh the interests of the people. As taxpayers and voters, it is our responsibility to ask questions, seek transparency, and examine motives especially when decisions simply don't add up.

In the spirit of truth that's exactly what engaged citizens are supposed to do. Yet, all too often, reasonable questions and protected free speech are met with defensiveness.

One thing life teaches us is that people rarely become upset over things that doesnt apply to them. Actions and reactions often reveal far more than words ever could, and when valid, some individuals choose to respond through surrogates or" flying monkeys" rather than addressing the substance of the concerns.

At the end of the day, as the late John Lewis said "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up" and that's what we will continue to do.

Now lets go out and enjoy this beautiful day that the Good Lord has made. 😇
