; Proud father, grandfather to Grace, Savannah and Jackson; Banker, A/D, Mayor, & School Board President. 2nd most influential in my house!
During this pandemic, assessment needs to be used for diagnostic purposes and not for rating students or schools. We need to let educators teach, students learn, and families recover from this uncertain time without the added pressure of mandatory state assessment.

REP. LAMBERT'S STATEMENT ON STAAR TESTING:
I support the children of Texas, the educators of Texas and the Texas families who are navigating the trying times Covid-19 has brought us. In this difficult time,
STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF
THE HONORABLE DR. BOB HUNTER
We not only lost a great man, we lost a true friend. Bob’s influence and positive impact on thousands of lives will be like “ripples on the water.”
I am proud to sign onto this letter. Good education policy is not party related and should be directed by listening to local education professionals on what is best for each community.

Tomorrow the Cowgirl soccer team plays in the NCAA Sweet 16 & Cowboy football plays in the 1st round of the NCAA playoffs! Cowboys kick off at noon & Cowgirls start at 12:30 p.m. We'll be streaming both games in Behrens Auditorium. We'll have popcorn, water & soft drinks!
Thinking about all those in education who are returning to their campuses:
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. - Romans 12:11-12

#SchoolReopening
the State of Texas, must rethink our education system and how to best use our most important resource in the classroom, teachers.
High stakes testing and the added demands it brings needs to be re-evaluated.
