Education is on the ballot! Please vote!

Early voting is underway and continues through November 4. Election Day is November 8. Education is on the ballot and your vote is your voice. Texas still ranks one of the very lowest for per-student spending. The people you elect determine school funding and more. Texas students are counting on us to be their voice at the polls.

To do:
1. Learn which elected officials make which education related decisions here.
2. Research candidates, build your ballot, and plan your vote here.
3. Vote early and encourage friends, co-workers, and family to do the same.

Elected officials listen to voters. When education voters showed up in record numbers in 2018, we got the "education session" and school funding was increased during the next legislative session. Our work isn't done and Texas kids deserve better. Please vote!

We had a great information session with Angi Arumburu. Thanks to everyone who asked questions and also to the candidate for willing to be educated on issues.

East Central ISD families are in the process of voting for a Bond during the election. Please read the info to be educated on all the ways the Bond will benefit the district and our schools! Receive all of the information about Bond 2022 at link below.

Early voting begins October 4 through November 4 and Election Day is November 8.

Schools have been celebrating with their community by walking or biking to school for National Walk to School Day this month! The joy is contagious when the community makes their way to school together!! The opportunity for our kids to walk or ride their bikes to school is something to celebrate! Not only are our kids growing academically in our wonderful schools, they are also building friendships in their neighborhoods that last a lifetime.
