Edgewood is celebrating teacher recognition, and yes — we believe great teachers should be celebrated. But this also raises a bigger question for families: if the district has strong teachers, why are our academic outcomes still not where our students deserve them to be?
At some point, we have to look beyond the classroom and ask hard questions about leadership, systems, support, and accountability. Our teachers should not be used as the cover for district failure. They should be supported by leadership that knows how to move students forward. Senator José Menéndez Maribel Gardea Diana Castillo Perez Teri Castillo
Join us in celebrating an incredible milestone!
70 Edgewood ISD teachers have earned Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) designations this year —a powerful recognition of their impact, excellence, and dedication to student success.
This achievement reflects their hard work and continued excellence. Thank you for going above and beyond for our students and community every single day.
