Issues
Sayda will always put service over politics. You can trust Sayda to always prioritize systems, policies, and changes that are in the best interest of our students, families, and community. At the end of the day, it is about ensuring that every child in ECISD has access to a high-quality, affirming education.
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.
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.
