Stand for Fort Worth sent candidate questionnaires to incumbent school board member, Norm Robbins, and his challenger, Dr. Michael Ryan. Norm Robbins did not respond. Dr. Michael Ryan’s Candidate Questionnaire is linked.
We were encouraged by many of Dr. Ryan’s responses including, “FWISD should have persons with female anatomy in girls’ restrooms and persons with male anatomy in boys’ restrooms.” And this, “Family values means that the nuclear family unit is the main functioning entity within the community. The strength and proper functioning of the family is the main factor for success, not only in school but also in life.” Dr. Ryan’s answers to all of the questions are thoughtful and informed, and we encourage you to read them all. Dr. Ryan has worked in public education for 36 years. He is married with three adult children. He has also earned the endorsement of teachers and the United Educators Association.
On the other hand, Norm Robbins failed parents and taxpayers by supporting Superintendent Scribner’s illegal transgender policy. During his tenure, the District has gone from bad to worse.
Fort Worth ISD needs change. It’s time to reject the Norm. We recommend Dr. Michael Ryan for District 7.
Fort Worth ISD District 7 schools include: Benbrook Elementary, Luella Merrett Elementary, Ridglea Hills Elementary, Waverly Park Elementary, Westpark Elementary, Applied Learning Academy, Benbrook Middle, Leonard Middle, Western Hills High School, International Newcomer Academy, and Middle Level Learning Center.
I’m rejecting the norm , and voting for Dr Ryan.
