As the elected leaders of Dallas ISD, the parents, students, teachers, and taxpayers of DISD call on you, our trustees, to thoroughly verify ALL 24,459 Home Rule petition signatures, once the signatures are turned in, to ensure the signatures are legitimate.
Why is this important?
The future of Dallas ISD hangs in the balance with Support Our Public Schools' (SOPS) effort to change DISD into a Home Rule school district, a step that has never been attempted in a Texas school district.
As the elected leaders of DISD, we call on you to verify that all signatures submitted on Home Rule petitions represent current registered voters in the school district, as required by state law. Our parents, students, teachers, and taxpayers all deserve this verification before the Home Rule effort advances any further. It is your obligation to ensure that this process is carried out transparently and completely.
Our community is counting on you!
