Meet Sayda

Sayda is a mom, licensed public school teacher, Teach for America service member, and a champion for children.

Growing up to immigrant parents from Honduras and Mexico, Sayda helped her mom clean houses on the weekends so she could be the first in her family to graduate from college. Sayda joined Teach for America in Western Massachusetts to ensure more young people had the same opportunities she had.

Since then, she’s reached over 800 students and families in her 9 years as an educator. As an activist, Sayda has fought for educational equity at the local, state, and federal levels because she believes that all children, regardless of their background or life circumstance, deserve access to a high-quality, affirming education.

"Imagine what our society could accomplish if every child, regardless of their background or life circumstance, had access to a high-quality, affirming education. It is that imagination that drives me."

Financial Responsibility

Sayda is committed to ensuring the district manages taxpayer funds responsibly and transparently.

She will focus on ensuring that the district maintain a well-balanced and sensible budget, and that updates on how funds are being spent are communicated to the public in a timely and accessible manner.

School Safety

Safety is a top priority for every family who sends their child to school.

Sayda is committed to ensuring that our schools meet the highest safety standards and are prepared for every possible scenario. This means constantly evaluating our security and communication systems, and researching and implementing the latest in safety technology.

Academic Achievement

We know that the primary purpose of school is to teach students the essential skills of reading, writing, and math along with other academic subjects.

According to the most recent data, only about 20-30% of middle and high schoolers in ECISD are on grade level for reading and math. Sayda is committed to tackling academic gaps in our students' learning.

Teacher Retention and Student Wellbeing

If schools are the heart of a community, then the students and staff are the lifeblood. We need to ensure that every student and staff member in ECISD feels supported.

Our schools are at their best when staff have the resources to do their jobs and develop professionally, and students have the resources and opportunities to learn and grow.

Your contribution makes everything possible!
